+I appreciate the detailed charter and framework, but I need to pause and clarify what I'm being asked to do.
+
+## The Issue
+
+The message structure indicates I should be **Orion, Director of Research** preparing a business plan for an opportunity. However:
+
+1. **No opportunity is specified.** The "CURRENT MESSAGE" section from the operator is empty — there is no task description, market gap, customer problem, or venture concept to analyze.
+
+2. **No research data is provided.** The template references `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, and `{biz_data_3}` (business model examples, GTM research, risk research), but these are placeholders with no actual content.
+
+3. **No charter assignment.** I am not currently an agent within Crimson Leaf's roster. The RAG context shows the organizational structure exists, but I have not been hired into a role via proper Genesis Protocol.
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To deliver a professional, investor-grade business plan as **Orion**, I need:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Brief** — What specific market gap, customer segment, or business concept should this plan address? (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web storefronts," "niche SaaS for [X] market," etc.)
+
+2. **The Research Data** — Actual market analysis, competitive benchmarks, GTM case studies, and failure research to cite. (The placeholders `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` need real content.)
+
+3. **Approval to Operate as Orion** — Should I assume I have been hired into this role, or should this request go through proper hire_agent workflow first?
+
+## My Recommendation
+
+**Provide the opportunity concept and research data**, and I will deliver a complete, citation-dense business plan suitable for David's investment decision. If those are not yet available, this task should route through **Lyra (Intake Coordinator)** to properly frame the concept before research begins.
+
+What opportunity should this plan address?
