+# I Cannot Complete This Request
+
+I need to flag a critical structural issue before proceeding.
+
+## The Problem
+
+You've asked me to produce a **business plan for an unspecified opportunity**. The task message contains:
+
+- **No opportunity description** ("Operator: / Message:" is blank)
+- **No market data** (the `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` placeholders are unfilled)
+- **No specific business concept** to analyze
+
+Without these inputs, I cannot:
+1. Define TAM or market growth rates
+2. Model unit economics or revenue projections
+3. Identify competitive positioning
+4. Design a credible go-to-market plan
+5. Cite meaningful sources
+
+**Fabricating a business plan without a stated opportunity would violate the citation rules** ("Do NOT invent URLs") and produce an unusable deliverable.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+Please provide:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Description** – What business is being proposed? (e.g., "indie author book formatting," "AI-powered content optimization," etc.)
+
+2. **Market Analysis Data** – Context from your RAG database or research, including:
+   - TAM estimates
+   - Growth rates
+   - Customer pain points
+   - Industry benchmarks
+
+3. **Competitive/GTM/Risk Research** – Data to populate the business model, channels, and risk register sections
+
+4. **Founder/CEO Profile** – Who is building this? What's their background? (affects feasibility assumptions)
+
+---
+
+## Constitutional Note
+
+I also observe that this request is addressed to **"Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings"** — but **no agent named Orion exists in the current roster** (per the charter: Lyra, Edgar, Sterling, + Founding CEO = 4/8 slots occupied).
+
+If this is a request to **hire Orion as a new research director** and then produce the business plan, that should be **sequenced separately** through a formal `hire_agent` action with an `agent.yml` profile and charter authorization first.
+
+---
+
+**Please clarify the opportunity and provide the supporting data, and I will produce a complete, cited, investor-grade business plan.**
