+# CRITICAL BLOCKER: INCOMPLETE REQUEST
+
+I cannot proceed with market analysis production because:
+
+## Missing Essential Input
+
+**The operator message is empty.** There is no opportunity, market niche, or business thesis specified for analysis.
+
+To produce a research-grade market analysis per the Orion framework, I require:
+
+1. **Specific opportunity name or market niche** (e.g., "AI-powered customer service for legal practices," "SaaS accounting automation for freelancers")
+2. **Problem statement** (what gap or pain point should be analyzed?)
+3. **Target customer segment** (who is the primary buyer?)
+4. **Geographic scope** (US, global, specific region?)
+5. **Time horizon** (12-month projection? 3-year strategic fit?)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please provide:**
+- The market opportunity you want analyzed
+- Any context about why Crimson Leaf is considering this niche
+- Any preliminary hypothesis about TAM, competition, or differentiation
+
+Once you supply the task message content, I will:
+- Execute the five research passes (market size, competition, news, community voice, monetization)
+- Produce a fully cited market analysis document
+- Deliver a clear PROCEED / INVESTIGATE FURTHER / PASS recommendation
+- Flag whether a business plan is needed
+
+**Standing by for your input.**
