---

## Status: **CANNOT PROCEED**

I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, but I cannot deliver the requested business plan deliverable because **the task message is empty**.

### What I Received:
- Chair: `business_plan`
- Project: `Incubation` (discover and launch new AI-powered business units)
- Context: Complete charter, portfolio intelligence, and operational constraints
- **Current Message: [BLANK]**

### What I Need to Proceed:

The business plan template requires **specific opportunity details** in the task message:

1. **The Opportunity Name** – What business are we incubating?
2. **The Target Customer** – Who does this serve?
3. **The Problem Statement** – What gap exists?
4. **Initial Market Intelligence** – Size, growth rate, urgency signals
5. **Proposed Revenue Model** – How does it make money?
6. **Executive Summary Hook** – Why now?

### Supporting Data Expected (in {biz_data_1}, {biz_data_2}, {biz_data_3}):
- **Business Model Examples** – comparable pricing, unit economics
- **Go-to-Market Research** – channel benchmarks, conversion rates
- **Failure Research** – risk patterns in this space

## Next Action Required:

**Please resubmit with:**

```
*** OPPORTUNITY BRIEF ***
Business Name: [e.g., "Indie Author Digital Storefronts"]
Target Market: [e.g., "Self-published authors seeking conversion-optimized web presence"]
Problem: [e.g., "Authors spend 40+ hours on web design; conversion drops 60% on generalist templates"]
Market Size: [TAM estimate or benchmark]

Once I receive the opportunity brief and supporting data, I will deliver a **complete, investor-grade business plan** in the format above, with all financial assumptions stated, 10+ cited sources, and a clear **FUND / PILOT FIRST / DO NOT FUND** recommendation.
