+I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a critical issue:
+
+**The operator's message is empty.** There is no task, opportunity name, or market research brief in the "CURRENT MESSAGE" section. The operator field shows no text to analyze.
+
+Without a specific opportunity to research, I cannot produce a market analysis document. I need you to provide:
+
+1. **The opportunity name or market segment** (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting," "indie author email automation," "blockchain publishing platforms")
+2. **The context or use case** (what problem Crimson Leaf is considering solving, what prompted this analysis request)
+3. **Any preliminary hypotheses or constraints** (budget range, target geography, urgency, etc.)
+
+---
+
+**Also, I should note a structural misalignment:**
+
+The instruction asks me to produce research-grade analysis by filling in template sections like `{market_data_1}`, `{market_data_2}`, etc., **but those research passes are not populated in the message**. The RAG context provides *governance and portfolio context*, not live market research data.
+
+To proceed properly, I would need either:
+
+- **The specific market data passes** (Pass 1-5 populated with real web URLs and statistics), or
+- **Authority to conduct live research** (which I cannot do in this context), or
+- **A specific opportunity name so I can signal what research inputs are required** before drafting the document.
+
+---
+
+**Please provide:**
+- The specific opportunity or market niche to analyze, and
+- The corresponding market research data (or confirm where those passes should come from)
+
+Then I will produce a citation-rigorous, structure-compliant market analysis per your template.
