+# ⚠️ TASK INCOMPLETE
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, but I cannot execute this market analysis because:
+
+## Missing Input
+The operator message contains **no task description or opportunity to analyze**.
+
+The template structure you've provided includes placeholders:
+- `{market_data_1}` through `{market_data_5}` (empty)
+- `[opportunity name from task message]` (undefined)
+- `[THINKING HINT]` instruction (present, but no actual market query)
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+Please provide **one of the following**:
+
+1. **A specific market opportunity or niche** to research (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors" or "B2B SaaS compliance automation")
+
+2. **The five research passes** already populated with real market data:
+   - Pass 1: Market Size & TAM
+   - Pass 2: Competitive Landscape & Pricing
+   - Pass 3: News & Recent Developments
+   - Pass 4: Community Voice & Pain Points
+   - Pass 5: Revenue & Monetization Models
+
+3. **Clarification on scope**: Are you asking me to:
+   - Conduct primary research on a market you name? (limited by my token budget and training data cutoff)
+   - Synthesize research that's already been gathered into the template above?
+   - Generate a speculative analysis based on domain knowledge?
+
+---
+
+## Current Status
+
+**Market Analysis Document**: 🔴 **NOT GENERATED** (awaiting task input)
+
+**Recommendation**: 🟡 **PENDING** (cannot assess without opportunity definition)
+
+---
+
+**Please reply with:**
+- The specific market opportunity or company niche to analyze, OR
+- The populated research passes (`{market_data_1}` - `{market_data_5}`) ready for synthesis
+
+Once provided, I will produce a **research-grade market analysis** with real citations, competitive tables, and a clear **PROCEED / INVESTIGATE / PASS** recommendation within 30 minutes.
