+# ISSUE: Missing Task Message
+
+I cannot generate the business plan you've requested because **the operator message is empty**.
+
+The prompt structure shows:
+
+```
+*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+Both fields are blank, which means I have no opportunity to analyze.
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To produce the investor-grade business plan you've outlined, please provide:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name** — What business are we planning?
+2. **Target Customer** — Who are we serving?
+3. **Core Problem** — What gap exists in the market?
+4. **Proposed Solution** — How does this business solve it?
+5. **Strategic Context** — Why is this aligned with Crimson Leaf's portfolio?
+
+Alternatively, if you intended to reference specific market analysis data (`{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}`), those placeholders are also empty. 
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Option 1:** Resubmit with the opportunity details and market data populated.
+
+**Option 2:** If this is a pilot request, provide a concrete example (e.g., "Plan a business incubating an AI-powered indie author web storefront Tenant") and I'll generate the full plan template.
+
+**Option 3:** If you need me to generate a *blank template* for future use, I can produce that as well.
+
+Which direction would you prefer?
