+I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a critical structural issue.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+**No market opportunity has been provided in the current message.**
+
+The operator's message section is empty:
+```
+*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+The thinking hint instructs me to act as **Orion, Director of Research** and produce a market analysis, but there is no task message containing:
+- A specific market opportunity to analyze
+- An industry vertical or niche
+- A business problem or gap to investigate
+- Any subject matter for the research passes
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To generate the market analysis document following your exact structure and citation rules, please provide:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Name/Subject** – e.g., "AI-powered manuscript editing for indie authors" or "blockchain supply chain verification for SMBs"
+2. **The Context** – Why Crimson Leaf is considering this niche (internal capability, market signal, portfolio gap?)
+3. **Scope Boundaries** – Geographic, audience, or segment focus (e.g., "US indie authors under $100K annual revenue")
+
+Once you supply the market opportunity, I will:
+- Produce a research-grade analysis following your exact structure
+- Cite only real URLs (or mark sections as "(estimate - no web source found)")
+- Target 8+ real citations minimum
+- Conclude with a clear recommendation: **PROCEED / INVESTIGATE FURTHER / PASS**
+- Include the `BUSINESS_PLAN_FLAG` output
+
+**Please resubmit with the opportunity details, and I'll generate the full analysis.**
