+# ⚠️ TASK INCOMPLETE – MISSING CRITICAL INPUT
+
+Orion here. I've reviewed the briefing, but **the operator message is empty**. I need you to provide:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Description** – What business unit are we incubating? (e.g., "AI-powered SEO content agency for indie authors," "print-on-demand book fulfillment," etc.)
+
+2. **The Market Data References** – You've templated placeholders for:
+   - `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples
+   - `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research
+   - `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research
+   
+   These need to be filled with actual research, URLs, and benchmarks.
+
+3. **The Funding Constraint** – What's the seed capital ceiling for this plan?
+
+4. **The Stakeholder** – You mentioned "David will read this to decide whether to fund" – is David the external investor, or is this for internal Crimson Leaf board adjudication?
+
+---
+
+## What I'm Ready to Deliver
+
+Once you provide the **opportunity name** and **market data**, I will produce:
+
+✅ A **complete, investor-grade business plan** in the format specified  
+✅ **10+ cited sources** (real URLs only – no fabrication)  
+✅ **Explicit assumptions** for every financial projection  
+✅ **A defensible recommendation** (FUND / PILOT FIRST / DO NOT FUND)  
+✅ **Alignment with Crimson Leaf's constitutional constraints** (narrow specificity, non-overlap, measurable value thesis)
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Please reply with:**
+- [ ] The specific business opportunity (title + 2-3 sentence description)
+- [ ] The research data or URLs to analyze
+- [ ] Seed capital budget range
+- [ ] Decision timeline
+
+I'll have the business plan ready within 60 minutes.
