+# Market Analysis: [OPERATOR MESSAGE EMPTY]
+
+---
+
+## ERROR: INCOMPLETE REQUEST
+
+I cannot produce a market analysis document without the **specific opportunity or business idea** you want researched.
+
+### What I need from you:
+
+**Operator, please provide:**
+1. **The opportunity name** (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors")
+2. **The market segment or niche** you want analyzed
+3. **Any specific constraints or strategic context** (e.g., "within the indie publishing ecosystem," "B2B SaaS," etc.)
+
+### Current Status:
+- ✅ I am Orion, Director of Research (implied by chair assignment)
+- ✅ I have the Crimson Leaf Charter and portfolio context
+- ✅ I have the citation rules and document structure
+- ❌ **I do NOT have the opportunity description**
+
+---
+
+### Next Step:
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+```
+Opportunity: [specific business idea or market niche]
+Context: [any additional strategic framing]
+```
+
+Once I receive the opportunity, I will execute the full 5-pass research protocol and deliver a citation-graded market analysis with real URLs, competitive landscape, TAM, monetization models, and a **PROCEED / INVESTIGATE FURTHER / PASS** recommendation—all grounded in accessible web data.
+
+**Awaiting your input.**
