+I appreciate the detailed brief, but I need to pause and clarify what's happening here.
+
+**The Problem:**
+
+You've given me a chair role ("Orion, Director of Research") and a project ("Incubation: Discover and launch new AI-powered business units"), but **no specific opportunity to analyze**. 
+
+The template says:
+> "Produce a full, investor-grade business plan for the opportunity in the task message."
+
+But the task message is empty. There are placeholders for:
+- `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples
+- `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research  
+- `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research
+
+And there's no actual **opportunity description** — no problem statement, market gap, or business concept to plan around.
+
+---
+
+**What I Need:**
+
+To deliver a legitimate business plan (not a template), please provide:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Statement**: What specific business are we incubating? 
+   - Example: *"AI-powered podcast transcript summarization service for B2B learning platforms"*
+   - Or: *"SaaS platform automating LinkedIn content calendars for indie consultants"*
+
+2. **The Market Data** (or permission to research it):
+   - TAM estimates, growth rates, competitor landscape
+   - Customer pain points from interviews or community research
+   - Go-to-market channels that work in this space
+   - Known failure modes from similar ventures
+
+3. **Crimson Leaf's Strategic Fit**:
+   - Why incubate this vs. extend an existing Tenant?
+   - What makes this defensible on AI speed/cost?
+
+4. **Initial Constraints**:
+   - Budget ceiling for seed capital?
+   - Timeline expectations?
+   - Is this meant to generate revenue or strategic leverage?
+
+---
+
+**If you want to proceed:**
+
+Please provide the **opportunity name and one-paragraph problem statement**, and I'll either:
+- **Request specific research data** to fill the templates above, or
+- **Conduct research myself** and build a complete, citation-rich business plan
+
+Which would you prefer?
