+# I Need Clarification
+
+I'm Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I've received your request to produce a full business plan for an incubation opportunity.
+
+However, **the task message is empty**—there is no opportunity description, market niche, customer segment, or business thesis provided.
+
+To produce the investor-grade plan you've requested, I need you to specify:
+
+1. **What is the business opportunity?** (e.g., "AI-powered content platform for indie authors," "B2B SaaS for supply chain optimization," etc.)
+2. **Who is the target customer?** (e.g., "self-published authors earning $5K-$50K/year," "mid-market manufacturers")
+3. **What problem does it solve?** (be specific about the gap)
+4. **What makes this a Crimson Leaf Tenant candidate?** (why does this need to be a sovereign business unit, not a tool or an extension of existing capability?)
+
+Additionally, you've referenced three research databases:
+- `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples
+- `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research
+- `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research
+
+**These appear to be placeholder variables and are not populated.** If market research has already been committed to Gitea for this opportunity, please provide:
+- The Gitea repository path or document link
+- Or paste the research directly into this message
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Once you provide:
+1. The opportunity description
+2. The relevant market research (or Gitea reference)
+3. Any preliminary assumptions about investment size, team, or timeline
+
+I will produce a complete, citation-rich business plan ready for David's capital allocation decision, with all assumptions stated explicitly and every benchmark sourced or flagged as unverified.
+
+**Ready when you are.**
+
+—Orion
