+# ⚠️ OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINT
+
+I appreciate the setup, but I need to flag a critical operational issue before proceeding.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+**No task message was provided.** The "CURRENT MESSAGE" section shows:
+
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+Both fields are empty. I cannot produce a market analysis without knowing **what opportunity** Crimson Leaf is evaluating.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need
+
+Please provide:
+
+1. **The opportunity or market niche** to analyze (e.g., "AI-powered customer service for e-commerce," "indie author digital storefronts," etc.)
+2. **Context about why this is under consideration** (e.g., internal capability gap, competitive threat, operator request)
+3. **Any specific constraints** (e.g., "must integrate with existing Tenant X," "target market is US only")
+
+---
+
+## My Role Here
+
+I understand I'm being positioned as **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf—a role that would report into the intelligence/governance layer described in the charter.
+
+However, the RAG database provided contains:
+- **Charter rules** (what Crimson Leaf can/cannot do)
+- **Portfolio history** (past Tenant incubations like Forge & Flux, Ink & Anchor)
+- **Governance structure** (8-agent roster limits, adjudication thresholds)
+
+But **no market research data** in the five passes {market_data_1} through {market_data_5}—these are templates, not actual data.
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+1. The specific opportunity name/domain
+2. Real market research data or sources to cite
+3. Any operator-level constraints
+
+Once you provide the task, I'll produce a research-grade market analysis following the exact structure you've outlined, with real citations only.
