+# WAIT — CRITICAL OPERATIONAL ISSUE
+
+---
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings**, but I have received a market analysis request with **no task message, no opportunity name, and no research data passes**.
+
+The prompt structure indicates I should receive:
+- A specific opportunity to analyze (from "task message")
+- Five passes of market research data (`{market_data_1}` through `{market_data_5}`)
+- Real URLs to cite
+
+**All of these are missing or empty.**
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To produce a research-grade market analysis document per the Genesis Protocol, please provide:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name/Topic:** What market niche should I analyze?
+   - Example: "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors"
+   - Example: "Standalone copyediting services for B2B SaaS"
+
+2. **Research Data (5 Passes):**
+   - **Pass 1:** Market size, TAM, growth rates
+   - **Pass 2:** Competitor names, pricing, positioning
+   - **Pass 3:** Recent news/developments (last 30-60 days)
+   - **Pass 4:** Community feedback, buyer pain points, forums/Reddit/Slack
+   - **Pass 5:** Existing revenue models, pricing benchmarks, monetization patterns
+
+3. **Real URLs:** At least 8-10 sources I can cite inline
+
+---
+
+## Current State
+
+- **Operator message is empty**
+- **No market opportunity is specified**
+- **No research data has been provided**
+- **I cannot fabricate citations or invent URLs**
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please reply with:**
+
+```
+OPPORTUNITY: [name/description]
+PASS 1: [market size data with URLs]
+PASS 2: [competitor landscape with URLs]
+PASS 3: [recent news with URLs]
+PASS 4: [buyer pain points with URLs]
+PASS 5: [monetization models with URLs]
+```
+
+Once this is supplied, I will produce the full market analysis document with proper citations, structured exactly per your template, and a clear recommendation (PROCEED / INVESTIGATE FURTHER / PASS) grounded in real data.
+
+---
+
+**Standing by for opportunity brief and research passes.**
