+# **CRITICAL ERROR: TASK INCOMPLETE**
+
+---
+
+## Problem
+
+The operator has submitted a **business plan request with no task message content**. The template asks me to:
+
+1. **"Produce a full, investor-grade business plan for the opportunity in the task message"**
+2. Reference **{biz_data_1}**, **{biz_data_2}**, **{biz_data_3}** — which are all **empty placeholders**
+3. Cite market analysis "already committed to Gitea" — which I **cannot access**
+
+This is **not a failure of execution**. This is a **missing input**.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To deliver a credible business plan for David's funding review, please provide:
+
+### 1. **The Opportunity Statement** (Required)
+- What business is being proposed?
+- What specific market gap or customer need does it address?
+- Example: *"AI-powered email newsletter automation for indie authors targeting 10K-50K subscriber lists"*
+
+### 2. **Market Research Data** (Required — fill the placeholders above)
+- **{biz_data_1}**: Business model examples, pricing benchmarks, revenue patterns
+- **{biz_data_2}**: Go-to-market channels, acquisition costs, conversion rates
+- **{biz_data_3}**: Failure modes, competitive threats, unit economics breakdowns
+
+### 3. **Existing Market Analysis** (Referenced)
+- URL or summary of the analysis "already committed to Gitea"
+- Key TAM figures, growth rates, customer segments
+
+### 4. **Clarifications**
+- **Who is "David"?** (CEO, Board member, Capital decision-maker?)
+- **Budget range?** (What's the seed capital under consideration?)
+- **Timeline?** (When does David need this plan?)
+
+---
+
+## What I Will Deliver Once Data Arrives
+
+✅ **Executive Summary** (250 words, 4-question format)  
+✅ **Problem/Solution** with community pain points  
+✅ **Market Analysis** (TAM, growth, drivers — all cited)  
+✅ **Business Model** (revenue streams, unit economics, pricing benchmarks)  
+✅ **Revenue Projections** (Month 1-12, all assumptions stated explicitly)  
+✅ **Competitive Analysis** (Who wins, who loses, why Crimson Leaf wins)  
+✅ **90-Day Go-to-Market Plan** (Weekly tasks, specific deliverables)  
+✅ **Operations Plan** (Agent roles, human-in-the-loop requirements)  
+✅ **Risk Register** (Top 5 risks, severity, mitigation)  
+✅ **90-Day Decision Gate** (Scale/pause/cut thresholds)  
+✅ **Final Recommendation** (FUND / PILOT FIRST / DO NOT FUND with rationale)  
+✅ **10+ Cited Sources** (All URLs with domains, no invented citations)
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Please reply with:**
+1. The opportunity description
+2. The research data (or links to it)
+3. Any missing context
+
+Once received, I will produce a **complete, investor-grade business plan** ready for David's review.
