+# ⚠️ CRITICAL ERROR: INCOMPLETE MESSAGE
+
+**Status:** Unable to Process
+
+---
+
+## Issue
+
+The operator message is **empty**. The task structure shows:
+
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+There is **no opportunity name, market segment, or research target** provided for analysis.
+
+Additionally, the five research passes are **template placeholders**:
+- `{market_data_1}` (Market Size & TAM)
+- `{market_data_2}` (Competitive Landscape)
+- `{market_data_3}` (News & Developments)
+- `{market_data_4}` (Community Voice)
+- `{market_data_5}` (Monetization Models)
+
+None contain actual research data.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+1. **Opportunity Name/Niche**: What market segment should I analyze?
+   - Example: "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors"
+   - Example: "B2B SaaS for freelance tax preparation"
+   - Example: "Vertical software for dental practices"
+
+2. **Research Data Passes**: Populate the five data sections above with:
+   - Real market sizing data (TAM, SAM, SOM)
+   - Competitor URLs and pricing
+   - Recent news articles (with links)
+   - Community forums, Reddit threads, pain point sources
+   - Revenue models and pricing benchmarks
+
+3. **Strategic Context** (optional but helpful):
+   - Why is Crimson Leaf considering this niche?
+   - Any internal capabilities or Tenant synergies?
+   - Timeline pressure?
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Resubmit with:**
+- Non-empty operator message identifying the market opportunity
+- Populated research passes with real URLs and data
+- I will then produce a research-grade market analysis with full citations, competitive tables, revenue projections, and a clear PROCEED/INVESTIGATE/PASS recommendation
+
+---
+
+**Awaiting clarification.**
