+# UNABLE TO PROCEED — CRITICAL INFORMATION MISSING
+
+---
+
+## Issue
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I have been asked to produce a full investor-grade business plan for an opportunity. However, the request contains **no opportunity details** in the current message.
+
+The template references three critical research datasets that are **empty placeholders**:
+
+```
+=== BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
+{biz_data_1}
+=== END BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
+
+=== GO-TO-MARKET CHANNEL RESEARCH ===
+{biz_data_2}
+=== END GTM RESEARCH ===
+
+=== RISK AND FAILURE RESEARCH ===
+{biz_data_3}
+=== END RISK RESEARCH ===
+```
+
+Additionally, the **PROJECT DESCRIPTION** states:
+
+> Project: Incubation
+> Discover and launch new AI-powered business units for Crimson Leaf Holdings
+
+But **no specific business opportunity** is named or described in the current message.
+
+---
+
+## Required to Proceed
+
+To produce a business plan meeting the standards outlined above, I need:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name and Brief Description**
+   - What business are we evaluating? (e.g., "Indie Author Web Storefront Design," "AI-powered Market Research," etc.)
+   - Who is the target customer?
+
+2. **Market Analysis Data** (`biz_data_1`)
+   - TAM estimates, growth rates, market drivers
+   - Target customer segments and pain points
+   - Existing solutions and their limitations
+
+3. **Business Model Examples** (`biz_data_2`)
+   - Comparable businesses or revenue models
+   - Pricing benchmarks
+   - Unit economics from similar ventures
+
+4. **Go-to-Market Channel Research** (`biz_data_3`)
+   - Acquisition channels proven in this vertical
+   - Customer journey maps
+   - Channel cost and conversion data
+
+5. **Risk and Failure Research** (`biz_data_4`)
+   - Common failure modes in this space
+   - Competitive threats
+   - Regulatory or operational barriers
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Please provide:**
+- The specific opportunity name and 1-2 sentence description
+- The three research datasets (or paste the existing market analysis from Gitea)
+- Any constraints on investment size, timeline, or CEO profile
+
+Once received, I will produce a complete, investor-grade business plan with full citations, financial modeling, and a clear FUND/PILOT/DO NOT FUND recommendation for David's review.
