+I appreciate the detailed charter and context, but I need to flag a critical issue:
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+**No task message has been provided.**
+
+The operator message field is empty. I cannot execute a market analysis without knowing:
+
+1. **What opportunity should I research?** (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting," "indie author email marketing," "niche SaaS for romance writers")
+2. **What market segment or problem domain?**
+3. **What scope constraints?** (geography, customer type, price point, etc.)
+
+## What I'm Ready to Do
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings. My role is to:
+
+- Deliver research-grade market analysis documents following the 5-pass structure above
+- Cite real URLs (not invented ones) from the research data provided
+- Structure findings per the exact template you've defined
+- Produce recommendations aligned with Crimson Leaf's Genesis Protocol and portfolio discipline
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+```
+OPPORTUNITY: [name/description of the market/business unit you want analyzed]
+SCOPE: [any specific constraints: geography, customer segment, price range, etc.]
+STRATEGIC_CONTEXT: [why this matters to Crimson Leaf's portfolio right now]
+```
+
+Once I have the task message, I will produce a **research-grade analysis document** with:
+- ✅ Real citations only (8+ URLs minimum)
+- ✅ Exact structural compliance
+- ✅ Conservative, base case, and optimistic revenue projections
+- ✅ Clear PROCEED / INVESTIGATE / PASS recommendation
+- ✅ Business plan flag for Genesis Pipeline routing
+
+**Ready to proceed. Awaiting task.**
