+# ⚠️ INCOMPLETE REQUEST
+
+**Status:** Unable to proceed with market analysis.
+
+**Issue:** The operator message is empty. The **CURRENT MESSAGE** section contains no task, opportunity name, or research parameters.
+
+**What I need to proceed:**
+
+1. **Opportunity name or sector** – What market should I analyze? (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting," "indie author email marketing," etc.)
+2. **Market research data** – The template references five research passes (`{market_data_1}` through `{market_data_5}`), but all placeholders are empty with no actual URLs or market data provided.
+3. **Strategic context** – Should this analysis inform a potential new Tenant incubation, or is this exploratory portfolio research?
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+- [ ] **Specific opportunity** to analyze (1-2 sentences)
+- [ ] **Market research data** or access to web sources for analysis
+- [ ] **Scope constraints** (e.g., "analyze indie author web design market only," or "broad assessment across author services ecosystem")
+
+Once you supply the opportunity and research data, I will produce a research-grade market analysis document following the exact structure and citation rules specified above, targeting at least 8 real cited URLs and meeting the 95% constitutional threshold for Tenant incubation viability assessment.
+
+---
+
+**Awaiting operator input.**
