# ISSUE DETECTED

I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a **critical blocker** before proceeding.

## The Problem

You've provided:
- ✅ My role: **Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings**
- ✅ My task: **Produce a full, investor-grade business plan**
- ✅ The format template: **Comprehensive 90-day decision gate structure**
- ✅ Citation rules: **Every financial figure must be sourced**

But you have **NOT provided**:

```
*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
Operator: 
Message: 
```

**The opportunity itself is blank.** I don't know:

1. **What business are we planning?** (Indie author web presence? Manuscript packaging? A new domain entirely?)
2. **What are the market analysis, business model examples, and GTM/risk research data** referenced in the placeholders?
   - `{biz_data_1}` = ?
   - `{biz_data_2}` = ?
   - `{biz_data_3}` = ?
3. **Who is the target customer?**
4. **What is the investment thesis David is evaluating?**

---

## What I Need to Proceed

Please provide:

1. **The specific opportunity name and one-sentence thesis** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author storefront design service for self-published authors")
2. **The market research data** (TAM, growth rate, customer pain points, competitive landscape)
3. **Go-to-market channel research** (where do these customers hang out, what channels convert, what's the CAC?)
4. **Failure/risk research** (what causes businesses in this space to fail, what are the unit economics challenges)

Alternatively, if this is a **live intake**, tell me:
- **Who requested this business plan?** (Is David the requester, or is this a self-initiated portfolio exploration?)
- **What problem or opportunity triggered this planning exercise?**

Once you provide the **actual opportunity details**, I'll produce a **complete, citation-heavy, investor-grade business plan** with all assumptions explicit and all financial projections grounded in data.

**Ready to write on your signal.**
