# ⚠️ MISSING CRITICAL INPUT

**Orion cannot proceed.**

The operator message contains **no niche specification**. The template structure is present, but the actual task — the affiliate opportunity niche to be analyzed — has not been provided.

## Required Input

Please specify the niche or product category for affiliate intelligence analysis. Examples:

- "Standing desk reviews"
- "Mechanical keyboard affiliate opportunities"
- "Air purifier niche"
- "Home espresso machine market"
- "Outdoor camping gear for beginners"

## What Happens Next

Once you provide the niche, I will:

1. **Execute Pass 1–4 research** (product data, competitor sites, keyword gaps, community signals)
2. **Populate the brief template** with cited sources
3. **Model monthly revenue** with transparent assumptions
4. **Assess Crimson Leaf fit** (execution speed, build requirements, David involvement)
5. **Recommend** START NOW / RESEARCH FURTHER / PASS with clear rationale
