+# ⚠️ CANNOT PROCEED — MISSING CRITICAL INPUT
+
+**Status:** Task Incomplete  
+**Role:** Orion, Director of Research  
+**Authority:** Research Division (non-executive)
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+I have received the project description **"Incubation: Discover and launch new AI-powered business units for Crimson Leaf Holdings"** but the **operator message is empty**.
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan, I require:
+
+### **REQUIRED INPUTS (Currently Missing):**
+
+1. **Opportunity Statement**
+   - What specific business opportunity or market niche is this plan for?
+   - Example: "Indie author web storefronts" / "AI-powered customer service for SMBs" / "Niche newsletter platform for tech writers"
+
+2. **Market Analysis Data**
+   - TAM sizing, growth rates, customer segments
+   - Currently: `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` are **unfilled placeholders**
+
+3. **Competitive Landscape**
+   - Who is winning in this space?
+   - What are the weaknesses of current solutions?
+
+4. **Strategic Context**
+   - Why is *this* opportunity aligned with Crimson Leaf's mandate *now*?
+   - What capability gap or portfolio need does it address?
+
+---
+
+## What I Can Do
+
+Once you provide the **opportunity name and market data**, I will deliver:
+
+✅ Full business plan (format specified above)  
+✅ 10+ cited sources (with real URLs — no fabrication)  
+✅ Explicit financial assumptions and unit economics  
+✅ 90-day go-to-market with measurable gates  
+✅ Risk register grounded in failure research  
+✅ Final FUND / PILOT / DO NOT FUND recommendation  
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Please provide:**
+- The **specific business opportunity** you want planned (name, customer, problem)
+- Any **market research, benchmarks, or competitive data** you want incorporated
+- **Strategic context** (why now? what need does it fill?)
+
+Then I will execute the full business plan analysis.
