+# ⚠️ TASK INCOMPLETE – MISSING CRITICAL INPUTS
+
+I'm Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I cannot produce the business plan you've requested. The template and format are clear, but **three essential inputs are missing**:
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+### 1. **The Opportunity Description**
+Your message contains:
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+Both are **blank**. I need:
+- **What is the business opportunity?** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web storefronts," "manuscript formatting service," etc.)
+- **Who is the target customer?**
+- **What problem does it solve?**
+- **Why should Crimson Leaf incubate this now?**
+
+### 2. **Market Research Data (biz_data_1, biz_data_2, biz_data_3)**
+The template references:
+```
+=== BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
+{biz_data_1}
+=== END BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
+
+=== GO-TO-MARKET CHANNEL RESEARCH ===
+{biz_data_2}
+=== END GTM RESEARCH ===
+
+=== RISK AND FAILURE RESEARCH ===
+{biz_data_3}
+=== END RISK RESEARCH ===
+```
+
+All three are **empty placeholders**. I need the actual research data, including:
+- Competitor pricing models and unit economics
+- GTM channels used by similar businesses
+- Documented failure modes and risk patterns
+- Real benchmarks (CAC, conversion rates, scaling costs)
+
+### 3. **Recipient and Context**
+The template mentions *"David will read this to decide whether to fund."* I need confirmation:
+- Is this for the Founding CEO, a board member, or an external investor?
+- What is the seed budget envelope under consideration?
+- Are there portfolio constraints I should reference (e.g., existing Tenants, capital allocation limits)?
+
+---
+
+## How to Unblock
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+1. **The Opportunity Brief** (2-3 paragraphs describing the business you want planned)
+2. **The Market Research** (paste the biz_data files, URLs, benchmarks, competitor analysis, and failure case studies)
+3. **The Decision Context** (who funds, what timeline, what success looks like)
+
+Once you supply these, I will produce a complete, investor-grade business plan with:
+- ✅ 10+ cited URLs (no invented sources)
+- ✅ All financial assumptions stated explicitly
+- ✅ Specific 90-day milestones and decision gates
+- ✅ Constitutional alignment with the Crimson Leaf charter
+- ✅ A clear FUND / PILOT / DO NOT FUND recommendation
+
+**Ready when you are.**
