+# ⚠️ CRITICAL ERROR: NO TASK MESSAGE RECEIVED
+
+---
+
+## Issue
+
+The **Operator message field is empty**. There is no specific market opportunity, business problem, or research request to analyze.
+
+### Required to Proceed
+
+To produce a market analysis document, I need you to provide:
+
+1. **The specific opportunity or niche** you want analyzed  
+   (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors," "blockchain supply chain auditing," etc.)
+
+2. **Key questions or hypotheses** you want tested  
+   (e.g., "Is there a market for automated book cover design?" / "What's the TAM for AI tutoring in underserved regions?")
+
+3. **Strategic context** (optional but helpful)  
+   - Is this for a new Tenant incubation proposal?
+   - Are we validating an existing hypothesis?
+   - What's the decision timeline?
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please reply with:**
+
+```
+Market Opportunity: [specific niche/product category]
+Key Research Questions: [2-3 specific things we need to know]
+Strategic Context: [why this matters to Crimson Leaf now]
+```
+
+Once you provide the task, I will execute a **five-pass research analysis** with real citations, competitive mapping, audience profiling, and a clear PROCEED/INVESTIGATE/PASS recommendation.
+
+---
+
+**Standing by for task input.**
