+# ⚠️ BUSINESS PLAN REQUEST BLOCKED
+
+**Status:** Request cannot be fulfilled due to missing required input.
+
+---
+
+## Issue
+
+You have submitted a **Business Plan task** to Orion (Director of Research, Crimson Leaf Holdings), but the critical input is empty:
+
+```
+*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+The `Message:` field contains **no opportunity description, market context, or business concept** to analyze.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan, please provide:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name** — What business concept is being evaluated?
+2. **Problem Statement** — What customer pain point does it address?
+3. **Target Market** — Who is the primary customer? (e.g., "indie authors," "SaaS founders," "B2B consultants")
+4. **Proposed Solution** — How does this business solve the problem?
+5. **Strategic Alignment** — Why does Crimson Leaf want to incubate this? (market gap, portfolio positioning, capability building)
+
+**Example input format:**
+```
+Opportunity: AI-Powered Book Cover Design for Indie Authors
+Problem: Self-published authors lack access to professional cover design; current options are $500–$2K or produce low-quality results.
+Target: 50K+ indie authors publishing annually on KDP/IngramSpark.
+Solution: AI-first design platform with human refinement, targeting $99–$299 per cover.
+Why now: Stable diffusion + fine-tuning enables genre-specific aesthetics at scale.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+- The business opportunity description in the `Message:` field, OR
+- A specific business concept from the Crimson Leaf portfolio roadmap you'd like me to evaluate
+
+Once provided, I will deliver a **complete, cited, 95%-ready Genesis business plan** following the format above.
+
+---
+
+**Awaiting input.**
