+# ⚠️ INCOMPLETE REQUEST
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, but I cannot execute this task as specified.
+
+## Why This Cannot Proceed:
+
+**1. No Task Message Provided**
+The `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` section is empty. There is no opportunity name, market niche, or research brief for me to analyze. I have no data about what Crimson Leaf should investigate.
+
+**2. No Research Passes Populated**
+The template references five research passes:
+- `{market_data_1}` — Market Size and TAM
+- `{market_data_2}` — Competitive Landscape
+- `{market_data_3}` — News and Developments
+- `{market_data_4}` — Community Voice and Pain Points
+- `{market_data_5}` — Revenue Models
+
+All five are **empty placeholders**. Without real web data from these passes, I cannot generate citations, validate claims, or produce a research-grade analysis. Per my citation rules, I must cite only real URLs found in the passes—not invent them.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed:
+
+**From the Operator:**
+1. **Opportunity Statement**: What market niche, business model, or technology area should Crimson Leaf investigate?
+   - Example: *"Analyze the market for AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors."*
+
+2. **Research Passes**: Provide populated research data across the five dimensions (TAM, competitors, news, community, monetization).
+   - These should contain real web URLs, statistics, competitor pricing, and recent articles.
+
+**Example format for one pass:**
+```
+=== PASS 2: COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE ===
+- Vellum: $199 one-time, targets indie authors, focuses on ebook + print formatting
+  [Vellum Pricing](https://www.vellumapp.com/pricing)
+- Draft2Digital: Free tier + $99/year premium, competitor analysis from r/selfpublishing
+  [Draft2Digital Features](https://www.draft2digital.com)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Standing By
+
+Once you provide:
+- **The market opportunity** (what to research), and
+- **The five research passes** (real data with URLs),
+
+I will produce a **research-grade market analysis** with proper citations, competitive mapping, TAM sizing, and a clear **PROCEED / INVESTIGATE / PASS** recommendation for the Crimson Leaf Genesis board.
+
+**What opportunity should I research?**
