# ⚠️ HALT — Missing Critical Input

I cannot generate this business plan because the **operator's message is empty**. The task header indicates:

```
Operator: 
Message: 
```

This appears to be a template or incomplete request. To produce an investor-grade business plan as Orion, I need:

## **Required Inputs:**

1. **The Opportunity Name** — What specific business unit or market niche should be incubated?
   - Example: "Indie Author Web Presence Services," "AI-Powered Manuscript Formatting," etc.

2. **The Market Analysis** — The RAG context references `[market_analysis]` (already committed to Gitea), but I don't have access to it. Please provide:
   - Target audience definition
   - TAM / market size
   - Growth drivers
   - Existing gaps or pain points

3. **Business Model Data** — Referenced as `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}`:
   - Pricing benchmarks from comparable businesses
   - Go-to-market channel case studies
   - Failure modes / risk data from the vertical

4. **Operator Guidance** — What specific question or decision does David need answered?
   - Should I fund this incubation?
   - Which of 3 opportunities is strongest?
   - What pilot could validate the thesis?

## **Next Steps:**

Please resubmit with:
- ✅ **Operator name** (if not Orion)
- ✅ **Specific opportunity** (name, market, customer problem)
- ✅ **Market research data** (TAM, growth, pain points)
- ✅ **Competitive / pricing examples** (URLs or data snippets)
- ✅ **Decision required** (FUND? PILOT? COMPARE?)

Once you provide these, I will generate a **complete, cited, investment-grade business plan** within 30 minutes.
