+# ⚠️ CRITICAL ISSUE: INCOMPLETE TASK SUBMISSION
+
+I'm **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I cannot produce the business plan you've requested because **the task message is empty**.
+
+Your submission contains:
+
+✅ **Chair role:** business_plan  
+✅ **Project context:** Incubation project charter and RAG database with governance rules  
+✅ **Format template:** Complete business plan structure  
+✅ **Citation rules:** Clear sourcing requirements  
+
+❌ **MISSING: The actual opportunity being analyzed**
+
+The template references:
+- `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples (empty)
+- `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research (empty)
+- `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research (empty)
+- **And critically: no description of the business opportunity itself**
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+Please resubmit with:
+
+1. **Opportunity Description** – What business are we analyzing? (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors," "SaaS platform for X," etc.)
+
+2. **Market Research Data** – Any URLs, benchmarks, TAM estimates, or competitive intel you've collected
+
+3. **Business Model References** – Examples of similar businesses with pricing/unit economics
+
+4. **GTM Channel Data** – Specific channels tested in this market (SEO, affiliate, paid ads, etc.) with cost/conversion benchmarks
+
+5. **Failure Case Studies** – What has failed in this niche and why (if available)
+
+---
+
+## My Recommendation
+
+**Do not submit a task to the business_plan chair without:**
+- A clearly named opportunity
+- At least 3-5 sources or data sets
+- Explicit financial assumptions or comparable pricing models
+
+**Once you resubmit with this data, I will deliver a complete, investor-grade business plan with:**
+- 10+ cited sources (no invented URLs)
+- Explicit financial assumptions for every projection
+- Honest risk assessment tied to failure research
+- Clear 90-day decision gates
+- A final **FUND / PILOT FIRST / DO NOT FUND** recommendation
+
+---
+
+**Ready to proceed. Awaiting opportunity details.**
