+I appreciate the detailed briefing, but I need to flag a critical structural issue:
+
+---
+
+## **BLOCKER: Empty Task Message**
+
+The operator's message field is empty. There is no **opportunity name, market segment, or business idea** to analyze.
+
+The template you've provided is well-structured and I understand the citation discipline and analytical rigor required. However, I cannot produce a market analysis document without knowing **what market I'm analyzing**.
+
+---
+
+## **What I Need to Proceed**
+
+Please provide:
+
+1. **Opportunity name/title** — What market, product category, or business niche should I research?
+   - Example: "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors"
+   - Example: "Vertical SaaS for specialty pharmaceutical supply chains"
+   - Example: "Automated podcast transcript-to-blog conversion"
+
+2. **Market segment or customer type** (optional but helpful) — Who would buy this?
+
+3. **Confirm research scope** — Should I research:
+   - Market size and TAM?
+   - Competitive pricing and positioning?
+   - Recent funding/industry news?
+   - Buyer personas and pain points?
+   - All of the above?
+
+---
+
+## **Immediate Action**
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+```
+OPPORTUNITY: [specific market/business idea]
+SCOPE: [what dimensions to analyze]
+```
+
+Once provided, I will execute the full 5-pass research analysis with strict citation discipline (real URLs only, no invented sources) and deliver the complete market analysis document per the template above.
+
+Standing by.
