## What I Need to Deliver This

You've asked me to produce an **investor-grade business plan** for a venture, but the task message contains **no opportunity details**.

The template specifies:
> "Use the opportunity details from the task message as your foundation."

**However:**
- `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` → Operator field is empty
- `*** PROJECT DESCRIPTION ***` → Generic ("Discover and launch new AI-powered business units")
- No specific market, product, or business hypothesis provided
- No `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` research blocks populated
