+# ⚠️ SUBMISSION BLOCKED — MISSING CRITICAL INPUT
+
+Orion cannot proceed with the business plan. The operator message is **empty**.
+
+## Required to Proceed
+
+To generate an investor-grade business plan, I need:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name & Description**
+   - What business unit or market niche should be incubated?
+   - What problem does it solve?
+   - Who is the target customer?
+
+2. **Strategic Context**
+   - Why is this opportunity aligned with Crimson Leaf's mandate?
+   - What market intelligence triggered this request?
+   - Does this extend an existing Tenant or justify a new one?
+
+3. **Research Data** (referenced in template)
+   - `{biz_data_1}` — Business model examples
+   - `{biz_data_2}` — Go-to-market channel research
+   - `{biz_data_3}` — Risk and failure research
+
+---
+
+## How to Proceed
+
+**Option A: Direct Request**
+```
+Operator: I want a business plan for [OPPORTUNITY NAME].
+Problem: [describe the gap]
+Target customer: [describe who]
+Market size: [initial estimate if known]
+```
+
+**Option B: Refer Existing Analysis**
+```
+Operator: Create a business plan based on the market analysis already in Gitea for [PROJECT NAME].
+```
+
+**Option C: Ask Lyra (Intake)**
+If this request came through the intake process, **Lyra should have routed the opportunity details to Orion with supporting research data attached**.
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Provide the opportunity name and problem statement** in your next message.
+2. **Attach or reference market research data** (URLs, TAM estimates, competitive landscape, GTM channels, failure case studies).
+3. Orion will generate a **complete, cited, investor-ready business plan** suitable for David's funding decision.
+
+**Ready when you are.**
