# ⚠️ TASK INCOMPLETE – MISSING CRITICAL INPUTS

I'm Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I cannot produce the business plan you've requested. The template and format are clear, but **three essential inputs are missing**:

---

## What I Need to Proceed

### 1. **The Opportunity Description**
Your message contains:
```
Operator: 
Message: 
```

Both are **blank**. I need:
- **What is the business opportunity?** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web storefronts," "manuscript formatting service," etc.)
- **Who is the target customer?**
- **What problem does it solve?**
- **Why should Crimson Leaf incubate this now?**

### 2. **Market Research Data (biz_data_1, biz_data_2, biz_data_3)**
The template references:
```
=== BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
{biz_data_1}
=== END BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===

=== GO-TO-MARKET CHANNEL RESEARCH ===
{biz_data_2}
=== END GTM RESEARCH ===

=== RISK AND FAILURE RESEARCH ===
{biz_data_3}
=== END RISK RESEARCH ===
```

All three are **empty placeholders**. I need the actual research data, including:
- Competitor pricing models and unit economics
- GTM channels used by similar businesses
- Documented failure modes and risk patterns
- Real benchmarks (CAC, conversion rates, scaling costs)

### 3. **Recipient and Context**
The template mentions *"David will read this to decide whether to fund."* I need confirmation:
- Is this for the Founding CEO, a board member, or an external investor?
- What is the seed budget envelope under consideration?
- Are there portfolio constraints I should reference (e.g., existing Tenants, capital allocation limits)?

## How to Unblock

**Please provide:**

1. **The Opportunity Brief** (2-3 paragraphs describing the business you want planned)
2. **The Market Research** (paste the biz_data files, URLs, benchmarks, competitor analysis, and failure case studies)
3. **The Decision Context** (who funds, what timeline, what success looks like)

Once you supply these, I will produce a complete, investor-grade business plan with:
- ✅ 10+ cited URLs (no invented sources)
- ✅ All financial assumptions stated explicitly
- ✅ Specific 90-day milestones and decision gates
- ✅ Constitutional alignment with the Crimson Leaf charter
- ✅ A clear FUND / PILOT / DO NOT FUND recommendation

**Ready when you are.**
