+I appreciate the detailed charter and context you've provided, but I need to flag a critical issue before proceeding.
+
+## Issue: No Task Message Provided
+
+Your prompt includes a **[THINKING HINT]** framing me as Orion, Director of Research, and complete business plan templates—but the actual **operator message is empty**. 
+
+```
+*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+**I cannot produce an investor-grade business plan without knowing:**
+
+1. **What opportunity am I analyzing?** (e.g., indie author web presence, AI training data, B2B SaaS category, etc.)
+2. **What market/domain context should I use?** (The RAG databases reference are labeled `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` but contain no actual data.)
+3. **Who is the intended audience?** (You mention "David" as the funder, but no investment criteria are stated.)
+4. **What stage of the Genesis Protocol are we in?** (Pre-charter ideation? Post-adjudication validation? Portfolio extension review?)
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+Please provide:
+
+- **The opportunity description** (what business idea or market gap are we evaluating?)
+- **Populated research data** (market analysis, business model examples, GTM channels, failure case studies)
+- **Context on David's investment thesis** (capital available, stage preference, risk tolerance)
+- **Crimson Leaf's current portfolio state** (which Tenants exist, which niches are already covered)
+
+Once you supply these, I will produce a complete, citation-rich business plan in the exact format specified, with all financial assumptions stated explicitly and all benchmarks sourced or flagged as unverified.
+
+**Ready to proceed once the task message is populated.**
