# HALTING REQUEST

I must pause and respectfully flag a **structural problem** before proceeding.

---

## The Issue

The prompt requests a **full, investor-grade business plan**, but the **task message is empty**:

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

There is **no opportunity description, no market analysis, no prior research commits to Gitea**, and no `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, or `{biz_data_3}` populated into the template.

The instruction states:
> *"The market analysis for this opportunity has already been committed to Gitea. Use the opportunity details from the task message as your foundation."*

**I cannot write this deliverable without:**

1. **The opportunity statement** – What business are we planning? (indie author web presence? manuscript formatting? something else?)
2. **The market analysis** – TAM, growth drivers, competitive landscape
3. **The research data** – Business model examples, GTM channels, failure case studies
4. **The scope** – Is this a Tenant charter + business plan, or just the plan?

---

## What I Need to Proceed

**Please provide:**

1. **Task/Opportunity Brief**: One paragraph describing the business opportunity Orion should plan (e.g., "Indie author digital storefront design for self-publishing," "AI-assisted manuscript formatting," etc.)

2. **Market Analysis** (or Gitea commit reference): TAM, growth rate, key drivers, customer segment details

3. **Competitive Research**: 3-5 competitor names/URLs, their strengths/weaknesses

4. **Business Model Research**: Pricing benchmarks, unit economics references, similar business structures

5. **GTM Channel Data**: Which channels work best for this segment? (SEO, affiliate networks, email, paid ads, community?)

6. **Failure Case Studies**: What causes businesses in this space to fail?

## Constitutional Note

Per **Crimson Leaf Charter §3 (Forbidden Activities)**, I am prohibited from inventing market research, fabricating benchmark citations, or guessing at financial models. This plan must be evidence-grounded and honest about uncertainty.

**Please resubmit with the opportunity details and research inputs, and I will deliver a 95%+ adjudication-ready business plan within the hour.**
