+I appreciate the comprehensive charter and operational context, but I need to flag a critical issue with this request.
+
+## The Problem
+
+**There is no task message.** The section marked `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` contains:
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+Both fields are empty. I cannot produce an investor-grade business plan without knowing:
+
+1. **What opportunity** am I analyzing? (e.g., "indie author web design," "manuscript formatting," "community course platform")
+2. **What market segment** is the target? (e.g., self-published fiction authors, academic researchers, SaaS founders)
+3. **What problem** does this business solve?
+4. **Why now?** (what market shift or capability gap justifies incubation?)
+
+Additionally, the research sections are templated but **not populated**:
+- `{biz_data_1}` – Business model examples: **[EMPTY]**
+- `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-market channel research: **[EMPTY]**
+- `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and failure research: **[EMPTY]**
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+1. **The opportunity description** – What business are we incubating?
+2. **Populated research data** – Real market analysis, competitor examples, GTM case studies, failure modes (or I will note all figures as "unverified industry estimates")
+3. **Confirmation of scope** – Is this a full FUND/NO-FUND recommendation, or a PILOT analysis?
+
+Once you supply the task message and research inputs, I will deliver a rigorous, citation-heavy business plan that adheres to:
+- Constitutional compliance (per Crimson Leaf charter)
+- Explicit assumptions on every financial figure
+- Minimum 10 cited sources (or clear labeling of unverified estimates)
+- 90-day decision gate structure
+- Investor-ready clarity for David's capital decision
+
+**Ready when you are. What opportunity should I analyze?**
