+# ERROR: NO TASK MESSAGE PROVIDED
+
+**Status:** Unable to proceed with market analysis.
+
+## Issue
+The operator message field is empty. There is no opportunity, market niche, or business problem specified for research.
+
+## Required Input
+To generate a research-grade market analysis document as Orion, Director of Research, I need:
+
+- **Specific opportunity or niche** (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors," "SaaS project management for VC firms," etc.)
+- **Any context** about why Crimson Leaf is considering this space
+- **Any constraints** (e.g., budget, timeline, portfolio alignment)
+
+## Next Step
+**Please provide a clear task message with:**
+1. The market opportunity or business problem to analyze
+2. Any relevant background or constraints
+3. Any specific angles you want emphasized in the research
+
+Once received, I will produce a citation-heavy, data-driven market analysis following the 8-section structure outlined in your specification, with real URLs and explicit assumption statements where web data is unavailable.
+
+---
+
+**Waiting for task message.**
