The research block returned completely empty — all five sources are blank. Per your own rule #1, I cannot write this analysis without inventing facts, which would violate the brief. **What likely happened:** The web search that was supposed to populate the research section either failed silently, hit a rate limit, or the search results returned no usable content for this specific query. **Options:** 1. **Re-run the publish pipeline** — if this was triggered via `node analysis-pitch-cron.mjs write`, the research step may have timed out or the search API (SerpAPI/NewsAPI) returned nothing for this niche query. 2. **Manually provide research** — paste in 3–5 relevant articles or excerpts about Qatar LNG, Hormuz closure scenarios, and Cape of Good Hope rerouting costs, and I'll write the analysis immediately. 3. **Check the logs** — if this came from `analysis-pitch-cron.mjs`: ```bash tail -50 /var/log/analysis-pitch.log ``` Look for errors from the research/search step before article generation was called. 4. **Check API quotas** — SerpAPI has a 100/month free limit. If exhausted, searches silently return empty: ```bash grep -i "serp\|search\|research" /var/log/analysis-pitch.log | tail -20 ``` The topic itself is highly publishable — Qatar LNG Hormuz/Cape rerouting is a live 2026 story — but I need real sourced data to write it properly.
