+# SYSTEM ERROR: MISSING REQUIRED INPUT
+
+**Status:** Unable to Generate Business Plan
+
+**Reason:** The operator message is empty. The template references placeholder variables that were not populated:
+
+- `{biz_data_1}` — Business Model Examples (missing)
+- `{biz_data_2}` — Go-to-Market Channel Research (missing)
+- `{biz_data_3}` — Risk and Failure Research (missing)
+
+Additionally, no **opportunity name** or **specific business concept** was provided in the task message.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To generate a complete, investor-grade business plan, please provide:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name/Concept** — What business is being incubated?
+   - Example: "AI-Powered Email Newsletter Platform for SaaS Founders"
+
+2. **Market Analysis Data** (`biz_data_1`) — Business model examples, comparable companies, revenue benchmarks
+
+3. **GTM Research** (`biz_data_2`) — Channel-specific data: affiliate commission rates, SEO difficulty scores, typical CAC/LTV by channel, conversion benchmarks
+
+4. **Risk Research** (`biz_data_3`) — Historical failure modes, churn rates, unit economics pitfalls, market saturation signals
+
+5. **Target Customer Profile** — Who exactly is the buyer? (indie authors, SaaS founders, e-commerce sellers, etc.)
+
+6. **Founder/CEO Profile** — If a specific founding CEO is being recruited, their background and relevant expertise
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+- The business opportunity concept (title + 1-2 sentence description)
+- The three research data blocks above
+- Any specific constraints (budget ceiling, timeline, portfolio fit notes)
+
+I will then generate a complete business plan following the template above, with full citations and honest risk assessment.
