+# ⚠️ OPERATIONAL HALT
+
+## Problem Identified
+
+**No task message received.** The `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` section contains:
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+Both fields are empty. I cannot produce a business plan without:
+
+1. **The specific opportunity** (What business unit should be incubated?)
+2. **Market research data** (The `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` placeholders are unfilled)
+3. **Opportunity context** (Problem statement, target market, initial hypothesis)
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+Please provide:
+
+### **1. The Opportunity Brief**
+- What business unit or market niche should be analyzed?
+- Who is the target customer?
+- What is the core problem being solved?
+- Example: *"An AI-powered affiliate marketing platform for indie authors to monetize backlist through BookFunnel integrations"*
+
+### **2. Market Research Data**
+Replace the placeholders with actual research:
+- **{biz_data_1}**: Business model examples, comparable ventures, unit economics
+- **{biz_data_2}**: Go-to-market channels, customer acquisition strategies, distribution tactics
+- **{biz_data_3}**: Failure patterns, competitive threats, market headwinds
+
+### **3. Any Constraints or Assumptions**
+- Target seed budget range?
+- Required payback timeline?
+- Geographic or platform focus?
+- Tenant architectural requirements?
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Reply with:**
+1. The opportunity name and problem statement
+2. The research data (or URLs to sources)
+3. Any Crimson Leaf-specific constraints
+
+I will then deliver a **complete, 95%-adjudication-ready business plan** with full citations, financial assumptions, and a clear FUND/PILOT/DO-NOT-FUND recommendation.
