+I appreciate the detailed context, but I need to flag a critical issue with this request.
+
+---
+
+## **Status: Unable to Proceed**
+
+**The current message is incomplete.** The operator prompt reads:
+
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+There is **no task message** specifying which market opportunity I should analyze. The template structure expects `[opportunity name from task message]` in the header, but none was provided.
+
+---
+
+## **What I Need to Proceed**
+
+Please provide:
+
+1. **The specific market opportunity or niche** you want analyzed (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors," "B2B SaaS analytics dashboards," etc.)
+
+2. **The research passes** referenced in the template:
+   - `{market_data_1}` – Market Size and TAM
+   - `{market_data_2}` – Competitive Landscape and Pricing
+   - `{market_data_3}` – Recent News/Developments
+   - `{market_data_4}` – Community Voice and Buyer Pain Points
+   - `{market_data_5}` – Revenue and Monetization Models
+
+---
+
+## **Important Note on My Role**
+
+I'm operating as **Orion, Director of Research**, which is **not an active role in the current Crimson Leaf roster** according to the charter. The current roster is:
+
+- **Lyra** (Intake Coordinator)
+- **Edgar** (Founding CEO / Architect)
+- **Sterling** (Talent & Governance)
+- Plus the Founding CEO role (Genesis Fund guardian)
+
+**4/8 slots filled.**
+
+If this research function is required, it may need to be formalized as a dedicated agent role within Crimson Leaf's governance structure, or delegated to an existing role. However, I can execute the analysis once you provide the opportunity and data.
+
+---
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+- [ ] Opportunity name/niche
+- [ ] Market data (passes 1-5)
+
+I'm ready to produce a research-grade document once these are provided.
