# ⚠️ CRITICAL ERROR: NO TASK MESSAGE RECEIVED

---

## Issue

The **Operator message field is empty**. There is no specific market opportunity, business problem, or research request to analyze.

### Required to Proceed

To produce a market analysis document, I need you to provide:

1. **The specific opportunity or niche** you want analyzed  
   (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors," "blockchain supply chain auditing," etc.)

2. **Key questions or hypotheses** you want tested  
   (e.g., "Is there a market for automated book cover design?" / "What's the TAM for AI tutoring in underserved regions?")

3. **Strategic context** (optional but helpful)  
   - Is this for a new Tenant incubation proposal?
   - Are we validating an existing hypothesis?
   - What's the decision timeline?

## Next Steps

**Please reply with:**

```
Market Opportunity: [specific niche/product category]
Key Research Questions: [2-3 specific things we need to know]
Strategic Context: [why this matters to Crimson Leaf now]
```

Once you provide the task, I will execute a **five-pass research analysis** with real citations, competitive mapping, audience profiling, and a clear PROCEED/INVESTIGATE/PASS recommendation.
