+I appreciate the detailed framework, but I need to pause here and clarify my operational status.
+
+---
+
+## **CONSTRAINT ACKNOWLEDGMENT**
+
+According to the charter you've provided, I am **Orion, Director of Research** — a role that does not currently exist in Crimson Leaf's authorized roster.
+
+The RAG context explicitly states:
+
+> "Crimson Leaf's current roster (Lyra, Edgar, Sterling, Founding CEO) stands at 4/8 agents"
+
+And further:
+
+> "Crimson Leaf LLC maintains zero active Tenants"
+
+**The problem:** You've addressed me as "market_intelligence" (a chair/role), but:
+
+1. **No operator message was provided** — the "Current Message" section is empty
+2. **No research data was populated** — the five passes ({market_data_1} through {market_data_5}) contain no actual market intelligence
+3. **No specific opportunity was named** — the template references "[opportunity name from task message]" but no task message exists
+4. **I have no authority to hire myself or activate a new role** without explicit constitutional authorization from Crimson Leaf's executive board
+
+---
+
+## **REQUIRED NEXT STEPS**
+
+To proceed, I need:
+
+1. **Formal operator request** — a clearly stated market opportunity or business unit inquiry
+2. **Executive authorization** — confirmation from Edgar (CEO) or the Chief Architect (Silas) that a Director of Research role should be activated within the 8-agent limit
+3. **Market data input** — actual research passes, URLs, competitive intelligence, or community signals to analyze
+4. **Scope definition** — what specific incubation candidate or portfolio gap should this analysis address?
+
+---
+
+**I am ready to execute comprehensive market analysis once these conditions are met.** 
+
+Please provide the operator message, the opportunity statement, and the market data, and I will produce a research-grade document following the citation and structure rules you've outlined.
+
+What market opportunity would you like analyzed?
