# TASK BLOCKED: Missing Critical Input

I cannot produce the requested business plan because the **task message is empty**.

---

## What I Need to Proceed

You've provided:
- ✅ Context (Charter, RAG database, project framing)
- ✅ Format template (detailed structure for business plan output)
- ✅ Citation rules and quality standards
- ❌ **THE ACTUAL OPPORTUNITY** (blank message field)

---

## What Should Be In Your Message

Please provide:

1. **Opportunity Name** – What business are we incubating?
2. **Problem Statement** – What gap exists? Who suffers?
3. **Target Customer** – Who is the user/buyer? What is their pain?
4. **Proposed Solution** – How does Crimson Leaf address this?
5. **Strategic Context** – Why now? Why does this align with CL's mandate?

**Example format:**
```
Opportunity: AI-Powered Manuscript Formatting Service
Problem: Self-published authors waste 40+ hours on print-ready PDF 
         compliance (KDP, IngramSpark bleed margins, optical balance)
Customer: Indie authors ($15-50K annual revenue range)
Solution: Agentic workflow to convert Word/Markdown → print-ready PDFs
         with platform-specific metadata and aesthetic QA
Market Signal: 2.3M indie authors published last year; 78% report 
              formatting as top pain point
```

**Standing by for task message.**
