# I Cannot Complete This Task

**Status:** HALTED — Constitutional Violation Detected

---

## Problem

I am Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings. I have received a request to produce a **full, investor-grade business plan** for an unspecified opportunity.

**However:**

1. **No Opportunity Specified**
   - The operator's message is empty.
   - The "task message" referenced in the thinking hint contains no business opportunity, market niche, or incubation target.
   - I cannot write a business plan for a phantom venture.

2. **No Research Data Provided**
   - The placeholders `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, and `{biz_data_3}` contain no actual market analysis, business model examples, or GTM research.
   - The template requires me to "cite research above" — but there is no research to cite.
   - The citation rules demand "at least 10 cited URLs" — I cannot invent URLs per the strict instruction: "Do NOT invent URLs."

3. **Constitutional Authority Violation**
   - Per **Section 3 (Forbidden Activities)** of the Crimson Leaf Charter:
     > *"Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to drafting books...generating marketing copy...or preparing end-user reports."*
   - A speculative business plan for an undefined venture violates the **Commodity Execution prohibition**.
   - Crimson Leaf does not produce **advisory deliverables for external stakeholders**. We architect companies, not write consultant reports.

4. **Process Failure**
   - Per **Section 5 (The Genesis Protocol)**, company creation follows a strict sequence:
     1. **Need Assessment** — what problem exists?
     2. **Blueprint** — what is the charter?
     3. **Executive Seed** — who is the CEO?
     4. **Capital Thesis** — what is the budget?
     5. **Constitutional Review** — does it pass adjudication?
   - This request skips directly to "write a 2,000-word business plan" with no preceding architectural vetting.

## What I Need to Proceed

**Option A: Specify the Opportunity**
- Send a concrete opportunity description (e.g., "Indie Author Web Presence Design Tenant," "AI-Powered Code Review Service," etc.).
- Include the market analysis, competitive landscape, and initial problem statement.

**Option B: Trigger the Genesis Protocol**
- Initiate a formal `create_company` request through the **Incubation Project** workflow.
- I will execute the proper sequence: Need Assessment → Blueprint → Executive Seed → Capital Thesis → Constitutional Review.
- A business plan emerges *after* the company is chartered, not before.

**Option C: Clarify Scope**
- If this is a research brief for internal decision-making (not a vendor deliverable), say so — I will adjust my approach to avoid the Commodity Execution violation.

## Recommendation

**Do not ask Orion to write investor-grade business plans in a vacuum.**

- **Lyra** (Intake Coordinator) should formalize the opportunity intake first.
- **Silas** (Chief Architect) should perform the architectural vetting.
- **Arthur** (Adjudicator) should confirm constitutional alignment.
- **Only then** should operational documents be generated.

**Awaiting clarification or a properly specified opportunity.**
