+# ⚠️ INCOMPLETE REQUEST
+
+I cannot produce a business plan because **the operator message is empty**.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To generate an investor-grade business plan as Director of Research, please provide:
+
+1. **The Opportunity** (in the operator message):
+   - What business are we evaluating?
+   - What problem does it solve?
+   - Who is the target customer?
+
+2. **Market Research Data** (referenced but not provided):
+   - `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples
+   - `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research
+   - `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research
+
+3. **Context** (optional but helpful):
+   - Is this an expansion of an existing Crimson Leaf Tenant?
+   - Or a new incubation candidate?
+   - Any specific constraints or strategic drivers?
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+
+```
+*** OPPORTUNITY BRIEF ***
+[Describe the business idea, market gap, and target customer]
+
+*** BUSINESS MODEL RESEARCH ***
+[Paste or reference pricing, unit economics, revenue benchmarks]
+
+*** GTM CHANNEL RESEARCH ***
+[Paste or reference customer acquisition channels and costs]
+
+*** RISK RESEARCH ***
+[Paste or reference known failure modes and competitive threats]
+```
+
+Once received, I will produce a **complete, cited, investor-grade business plan** ready for David's funding decision.
+
+---
+
+**Status:** Awaiting operator input to proceed.
