+I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to pause here and be direct: **I cannot produce this deliverable in my current role.**
+
+Here's why:
+
+### Constitutional Problem
+
+The prompt asks me to act as **Orion, Director of Research** and produce an investor-grade business plan for "the opportunity in the task message."
+
+**The task message is empty.** There is no opportunity specified. No market, no customer, no problem to solve.
+
+### What's Missing
+
+To write a credible business plan, I need:
+
+1. **The actual opportunity** — What business are we analyzing? (e.g., "AI-powered content platform for indie authors," "B2B SaaS for supply chain optimization," etc.)
+2. **The market research deliverables** — The placeholders `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` are empty. These should contain:
+   - Real market sizing data (TAM, growth rates, customer segments)
+   - Specific business model benchmarks (CAC, LTV, conversion rates, pricing examples)
+   - GTM channel performance data (which channels work, what CAC looks like, success rates)
+   - Failure case studies and risk data
+
+3. **The investment parameters** — Who is David? What stage of capital? What's the expected timeline and risk tolerance?
+
+### What I Cannot Do
+
+Per the Crimson Leaf charter, **I cannot invent market data, financial projections, or competitor benchmarks to fill these gaps.** Specifically:
+
+- ❌ Fabricate URLs to meet the "10 sources minimum" requirement
+- ❌ Generate plausible-sounding unit economics without real assumptions
+- ❌ Cite unnamed "industry estimates" as if they were researched
+
+Doing so would produce a **false confidence document** — exactly the kind of commodity execution the charter forbids.
+
+---
+
+### What I Can Do
+
+**Option 1: Provide the Opportunity**
+Send me the actual business concept, and I'll help structure what market research needs to be gathered before a plan can be written.
+
+**Option 2: Build the Research First**
+Let me know the opportunity, and I can help design a `market_analysis` template that collects real data before the business plan is drafted.
+
+**Option 3: Template-Only**
+I can produce a blank business plan template with placeholder sections and explicit data requirements for your team to fill in.
+
+---
+
+**What should I do?**
