+# ⚠️ CRITICAL ISSUE: INCOMPLETE REQUEST
+
+---
+
+## Status: **UNABLE TO PROCEED**
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, but I have received an **empty task message** with no opportunity specified for analysis.
+
+The template you provided expects:
+- **A specific market opportunity or business niche** to research
+- **Five research data passes** (TAM, competition, news, community voice, monetization) populated with real URLs and findings
+
+### What I Need to Proceed:
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+1. **The opportunity name/description** (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript editing for indie authors," "conversational AI for legal document review," etc.)
+2. **The research data passes** with actual URLs, statistics, and market intelligence, OR
+3. **Authorization to conduct live market research** on a specified niche
+
+---
+
+### Current Status:
+
+- ✅ Role: Orion, Director of Research (Market Intelligence function)
+- ✅ Charter: Analyzing macroeconomic trends, industry gaps, and B2B service opportunities
+- ⚠️ **Task:** Empty / No opportunity specified
+- ❌ **Research passes:** Not populated (no URLs, statistics, or competitive data provided)
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps:
+
+**Operator: Please clarify:**
+
+1. What market opportunity should I analyze?
+2. Do you have pre-collected research data (the five passes) to provide?
+3. Or should I await a formal request routed through proper intake channels (likely **Lyra, Intake Coordinator**)?
+
+Once you provide the **opportunity name and research data**, I will produce a **research-grade market analysis document** with proper citations, competitive positioning, and a clear **PROCEED / INVESTIGATE FURTHER / PASS** recommendation for the Incubation project.
+
+---
+
+**Awaiting clarification.**
