+# CHAIR RESPONSE: BUSINESS_PLAN PROJECT
+
+---
+
+## 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]
+Go-to-Market Channel: [e.g., "BookFunnel partnerships, StoryOrigin affiliate program"]
+
+*** SUPPORTING DATA ***
+[Market research URLs, competitor pricing, GTM benchmarks, failure case studies]
+```
+
+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.
+
+---
+
+**Awaiting opportunity details to begin analysis.**
