# ORION RESEARCH DIRECTOR — RESPONSE

I appreciate the detailed operational context, but I must flag a **critical structural issue** before proceeding.

## Issue: Missing Core Input

The task message contains:

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

**Both fields are empty.** There is no opportunity description, no business concept, no market problem, and no specific venture for me to analyze.

Additionally, the placeholder fields in your template reference:
- `{biz_data_1}` — Business Model Examples (not provided)
- `{biz_data_2}` — Go-to-Market Channel Research (not provided)
- `{biz_data_3}` — Risk and Failure Research (not provided)

## What I Need to Proceed

To deliver an investor-grade business plan as Orion, I require:

1. **The Opportunity Statement**: What is the specific business concept Crimson Leaf is considering? (e.g., "An AI-powered indie author web design service," "A niche SaaS for X market," etc.)

2. **The Market Research Data**: The three research blocks (`biz_data_1`, `biz_data_2`, `biz_data_3`) with:
   - Competitor pricing, market sizing, growth rates
   - Successful GTM playbooks in this category
   - Known failure modes and risk factors

3. **The Strategic Context**: 
   - Is this being incubated as a new Tenant, or extended within an existing one?
   - Who is the intended CEO/operator?
   - What is the approximate seed budget in consideration?

## Next Step

**Please provide:**
1. The opportunity description (what business, who it serves, why now)
2. The three research data blocks (or clarify if they should be populated from the RAG context)
3. Any specific constraints or strategic priorities from the executive board

Once these inputs are clear, I will produce a **complete, cited, investor-grade business plan** following the exact format above.
