+# UNABLE TO PROCEED
+
+**Status:** Blocked
+
+**Reason:** No operator message content provided.
+
+The request includes the project charter, RAG databases, and formatting instructions, but the actual **Message** field is empty. I cannot generate a business plan without:
+
+1. **The specific opportunity being evaluated** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web design," "manuscript formatting service," "literary marketing platform")
+2. **Market analysis foundation** (referenced as already committed to Gitea, but not provided in this context)
+3. **Business model examples** (placeholder `{biz_data_1}` not populated)
+4. **GTM channel research** (placeholder `{biz_data_2}` not populated)
+5. **Risk/failure research** (placeholder `{biz_data_3}` not populated)
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**To proceed, provide:**
+
+1. **The opportunity name and description** (what problem does this business solve?)
+2. **Market size and growth data** (TAM, CAGR, key drivers)
+3. **Competitive landscape** (who operates in this space today?)
+4. **Preliminary revenue model** (subscription? transactional? affiliate?)
+5. **Data sources** (URLs, reports, or research already completed)
+
+**Then I will deliver:**
+- Investor-grade business plan in the exact format specified
+- All financial assumptions stated explicitly
+- Minimum 10 cited sources
+- Clear FUND / PILOT FIRST / DO NOT FUND recommendation
