+# ⚠️ OPERATIONAL HALT – ROLE MISMATCH
+
+---
+
+## Issue Detected
+
+You've addressed me as **Orion, Director of Research** and invoked a market analysis template, but:
+
+1. **No "market_intelligence" agent exists** in Crimson Leaf's current roster
+2. **The operator message is empty** – there is no task, opportunity, or market to analyze
+3. **The template references placeholders** (`{market_data_1}` through `{market_data_5}`) that have not been populated with actual research data
+
+---
+
+## What Should Happen
+
+### To proceed with a market analysis:
+
+**You must:**
+1. **Define the opportunity clearly** – what specific market, niche, or business idea requires analysis?
+2. **Provide research data** – populate the five passes (TAM, competitive landscape, news, community voice, revenue models) with real sources and citations
+3. **Clarify the analyst role** – is this request intended for:
+   - An existing Crimson Leaf agent to execute?
+   - A new `market_intelligence` agent that should be hired first?
+   - A deterministic research tool instead of agentic analysis?
+
+---
+
+## Current Crimson Leaf Roster (4/8 agents)
+- **Lyra** – Intake Coordinator
+- **Edgar** – CEO / Operational Support
+- **Sterling** – Director of Talent & Governance
+- **Founding CEO** – Genesis Fund Guardian
+
+**No market intelligence or research role currently active.**
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please provide:**
+1. **The specific market opportunity** you want analyzed
+2. **Actual research data** (URLs, statistics, competitive intelligence)
+3. **Clarity on whether a new agent should be hired** to fill this capability gap, or if this should route to an existing agent
+
+Once the operator message is populated and the analyst role is clarified, I can execute the full market analysis per the template.

+**Status:** ⏸️ **AWAITING TASK CLARIFICATION**
