-# Title Conflict Check: Cypress Bend
-
-**Genre:** [Genre not provided in task message]
+# Title Conflict Check: [AWAITING TASK MESSAGE]
 
 ---
 
-## Exact Match Check
+## Status
 
-No search results provided. Unable to verify exact matches against Amazon or Goodreads databases. Based on structural analysis alone: "Cypress Bend" is a straightforward geographical title with moderate specificity. Without search data, cannot confirm if this exact title exists in published works.
+I'm ready to perform the title conflict assessment for the Cypress Bend project, but I don't see the book details in your current message.
 
-## Close Conflict Check
+To proceed, please provide:
 
-No search results provided. Cannot identify similar titles or close variants in the same genre. Recommend conducting actual Amazon and Goodreads searches for:
-- "Cypress Bend" (exact)
-- "Cypress" + genre keywords
-- "Bend" + genre keywords
-- Regional/location-based titles in target genre
+- **Book Title** (the exact title to check)
+- **Genre** (primary genre classification)
+- **Optional context** (premise, target audience, or other distinguishing details)
 
-## Positioning Risk Assessment
+Once you provide these details, I will:
 
-**UNABLE TO ASSESS** — Without genre classification and search results, cannot evaluate reader confusion risk. The title "Cypress Bend" suggests either:
-- A geographical location (mystery, literary fiction, romance)
-- A place-based narrative anchor
+1. Analyze the Amazon/Goodreads search results provided
+2. Review close-title variant findings
+3. Conduct a structural analysis if search results are limited
+4. Deliver a comprehensive conflict assessment with specific citations
+5. Provide alternative title suggestions if needed
 
-Risk assessment requires: (1) confirmed genre, (2) actual database searches, (3) comparable titles in that genre.
-
-## Verdict
-
-**INCOMPLETE** — Cannot render a final verdict without:
-- Genre specification from task message
-- Populated Amazon search results
-- Populated variant search results
-
-## Required Next Steps
-
-Please provide:
-1. **Book genre** (currently missing from task message)
-2. **Re-run search** with populated {amazon_results} and {variant_results} fields
-
-Once available, I can provide CLEAR, CAUTION, or CONFLICT determination with specific recommendations.
