# ⚠️ UNABLE TO PROCEED – MISSING CRITICAL INPUT

**Orion, Director of Research** here.

I cannot produce the business plan you've requested because **the operator message is empty**. 

The instruction set requires:
- **Project opportunity details** (the specific business idea, market niche, or capability gap)
- **Operator context** (which opportunity within "Incubation" this plan addresses)
- **Market analysis foundation** (already committed to Gitea, per your template)

## What I need to proceed:

1. **The Opportunity Name** – What is the specific venture being incubated? (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web storefronts," "Technical manuscript formatting," "Subscription optimization for niche creators")

2. **The Problem Statement** – What market gap or customer pain does this business solve?

3. **The Initial Scope** – Target customer, primary deliverable, primary revenue model (subscription / one-time / commission / advertising)

4. **The Research Data** – 
   - `{biz_data_1}` – Business model examples (currently blank)
   - `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-market channel research (currently blank)
   - `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and failure research (currently blank)

## Next steps:

**Please provide:**
- The opportunity brief (1-2 paragraphs describing the business idea)
- Any market research, competitive data, or GTM insights already gathered
- Specific financial parameters or constraints (seed budget range, timeline, David's capital availability)

Once you provide the opportunity details and research data, I will deliver a complete, investor-grade business plan with full citations, unit economics, and a 90-day decision gate.

**Ready to draft when you send the brief.**
