+# ⚠️ MISSING CRITICAL INPUT
+
+Orion here. I've received the task to produce a business plan for the "Incubation" project, but **the operator message is empty** — there is no opportunity description, market data, or specific venture to analyze.
+
+To deliver a complete, investor-grade business plan that David will use to make a funding decision, I need:
+
+## Required Inputs
+
+1. **Opportunity Name & Description**
+   - What specific business unit or venture are we incubating?
+   - Example: "AI-powered indie author web design," "manuscript formatting service," "affiliate review platform"
+
+2. **Market Data** (referenced as `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}`)
+   - Business model benchmarks (CAC, LTV, conversion rates, pricing precedents)
+   - Go-to-market channel research (proven GTM playbooks, channel costs, audience sizes)
+   - Risk and failure research (why similar ventures fail, market saturation signals)
+
+3. **Target Customer Profile**
+   - Who is the primary customer?
+   - What is their current pain point?
+   - Where do they congregate (online communities, forums, platforms)?
+
+4. **Preliminary Economics**
+   - Rough TAM estimate
+   - Assumed pricing or revenue model
+   - Known cost drivers or operational constraints
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please provide:**
+- The specific opportunity you want planned (name + 2-3 sentence description)
+- Any market research, competitor data, or GTM channel insights already gathered
+- Assumptions about team structure, budget, or timeline
+
+Once I have these inputs, I'll deliver a complete, cite-rich business plan with:
+- ✅ All financial figures grounded in stated assumptions
+- ✅ 10+ cited sources (no invented URLs)
+- ✅ Clear break-even and scaling thresholds
+- ✅ 90-day decision gate with go/no-go criteria
+- ✅ FUND / PILOT / DO NOT FUND recommendation with risk-grounded rationale
+
+**Awaiting opportunity details.**
