+# ⚠️ CRITICAL ERROR: INCOMPLETE REQUEST
+
+**Status:** Cannot generate market analysis.
+
+**Reason:** The operator message contains **no task content**—the field labeled `Message:` is empty.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To generate a research-grade market analysis as Orion, Director of Research, please provide:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Name/Description** — What market, product niche, or business opportunity should I analyze?
+   - Example: "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors"
+   - Example: "Subscription analytics for Shopify merchants"
+   - Example: "B2B compliance automation for fintech startups"
+
+2. **Research Passes (Optional but Recommended)** — If you have web research data to feed me:
+   - `{market_data_1}` — TAM, growth rates, market size
+   - `{market_data_2}` — Competitors, pricing, features
+   - `{market_data_3}` — Recent news and developments (last 30–60 days)
+   - `{market_data_4}` — Community feedback, pain points, buyer voice
+   - `{market_data_5}` — Revenue models, monetization, unit economics
+
+**If you don't have research passes:** I can still produce the analysis using the charter context and public knowledge, but citations will be limited to what's available in that knowledge base.
+
+---
+
+## Resubmit With:
+
+```
+Operator: [your name or role]
+Message: 
+
+Opportunity: [specific market/niche/business idea]
+
+[Optional: paste research passes if you have them]
+```
+
+**Ready to proceed once the opportunity is specified.** ✓
