+I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to pause and flag a critical issue before proceeding.
+
+---
+
+## **STRUCTURAL PROBLEM**
+
+The prompt requests a business plan for an opportunity, but **no opportunity has been specified**. The message field reads:
+
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+Both are empty. I have no project title, market, customer segment, revenue model, or problem statement to analyze.
+
+---
+
+## **WHAT I NEED TO PROCEED**
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan in the format you've specified, please provide:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name & Core Thesis**
+   - What business are we planning? (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web design," "manuscript formatting as a service," etc.)
+
+2. **Target Customer**
+   - Who pays? (e.g., indie authors, publishing coaches, literary agencies)
+
+3. **Primary Problem Solved**
+   - What gap exists in the market?
+
+4. **Revenue Model (sketch)**
+   - One-time? Subscription? Affiliate? SaaS commission?
+
+5. **Any Attached Research Data**
+   - The template references `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` (market analysis, GTM research, risk research)
+   - These placeholders are empty. Should I:
+     - Wait for you to paste data?
+     - Conduct independent research?
+     - Work from the RAG context alone (which covers Crimson Leaf governance, not market opportunity)?
+
+---
+
+## **RECOMMENDATION**
+
+**Reply with:**
+- The opportunity name and 2-3 sentence problem statement
+- The three research data sections (or confirm I should synthesize from available context)
+- Any specific constraints (budget, timeline, team size)
+
+Once I have the opportunity definition, I'll produce a complete, cited, analyst-grade business plan ready for David's funding decision.
+
+**Awaiting input.**
