# STATUS: AWAITING OPERATOR INPUT

**Orion, Director of Research**

I am positioned and ready to deliver a comprehensive, investor-grade business plan for the Incubation project opportunity. However, I notice that the **task message is empty** — no specific business opportunity, market niche, or venture thesis has been provided in your message.

To produce the business plan you've requested, I need:

1. **The Opportunity Name and Description**
   - What is the business concept? (e.g., "AI-powered copywriting for SaaS," "indie author storefronts," etc.)
   - Who is the target customer?
   - What problem does it solve?

2. **Market Context**
   - What specific market data or initial research has already been committed to Gitea?
   - Are there existing market intelligence reports, TAM estimates, or competitive analyses I should reference?

3. **Research Data Placeholders**
   - The template references `{biz_data_1}` (business model examples), `{biz_data_2}` (GTM channels), and `{biz_data_3}` (risk research)
   - Should I generate these from first principles, or will you provide specific research artifacts?

4. **Investment Parameters**
   - What is David's capital appetite for this venture?
   - What is the expected time horizon to break-even?
   - Are there specific portfolio constraints or Tenant overlap concerns from existing ventures?

---

**Please provide:**
- The specific business opportunity or venture thesis you'd like me to analyze, OR
- A pointer to the Gitea repository where the market analysis and research data are already committed

Once I have the opportunity details, I will produce a **full, investor-grade business plan** with:
- ✓ Cited benchmarks and sources (minimum 10 URLs)
- ✓ Explicit assumptions for every financial projection
- ✓ Competitive positioning within Crimson Leaf's portfolio
- ✓ 90-day decision gates and clear go/no-go criteria
- ✓ A final recommendation (FUND / PILOT FIRST / DO NOT FUND)

**Awaiting your input.**
