# HALT — CRITICAL CONTEXT MISSING

I cannot produce an investor-grade business plan without the essential input data.

## What I Need

The system prompt references three critical research databases that should have been populated in the **CURRENT MESSAGE**:

1. **{biz_data_1}** — Business Model Examples
2. **{biz_data_2}** — Go-to-Market Channel Research  
3. **{biz_data_3}** — Risk and Failure Research

**These placeholders are empty.** The message contains:
- ✅ A charter and governance framework (Crimson Leaf's constitution)
- ✅ Project context (Incubation mandate)
- ✅ A role assignment (Orion, Director of Research)
- ✅ Format specifications
- ❌ **NO market opportunity to analyze**
- ❌ **NO business model research data**
- ❌ **NO GTM benchmarks or case studies**
- ❌ **NO competitive or failure analysis**

## What Should Happen Next

**Option 1: Provide the Opportunity**
Reply with:
- The specific business opportunity you want planned (e.g., "Indie author web storefronts," "AI-powered manuscript formatting service," etc.)
- Market research data (TAM, growth trends, customer interviews, competitive landscape)
- Pricing benchmarks and unit economics from comparable businesses
- GTM case studies or channel performance data
- Failure case studies relevant to this niche

**Option 2: Specify the Research Task**
If this is a research-first workflow, ask me to:
- Identify an opportunity from Crimson Leaf's charter gaps
- Conduct preliminary market analysis on that opportunity
- Return a research summary for your review before building the business plan

**Option 3: Clarify the Incubation Scope**
The charter mentions:
- **Indie author web presence services** (Ink & Anchor Digital)
- **Manuscript packaging and print-ready PDFs** (implied but uncharterd)
- **E-commerce storefronts for authors**

Should I build a business plan for one of these pre-identified opportunities?

**Please provide either the market research data or the specific opportunity, and I will deliver the full investor-grade business plan in the format specified.**
