+# ⚠️ REQUEST BLOCKED – MISSING CRITICAL INPUT
+
+**Status:** Unable to proceed with business plan generation
+
+**Reason:** The operator message is empty. No opportunity description, market brief, or project parameters were provided.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Generate Your Business Plan
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan as Orion, I require:
+
+### **1. Opportunity Definition**
+- **What business are we evaluating?** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author landing page design," "SaaS for manuscript formatting," "affiliate content network for self-publishing")
+- **Target customer:** Who is paying? (indie authors, publishers, agencies, etc.)
+- **Core problem:** What specific gap exists?
+
+### **2. Market Context**
+- **Source data:** You referenced `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` in the template, but these were not populated. Please provide:
+  - **Business Model Examples** – comparable revenue structures, unit economics, pricing precedents
+  - **Go-to-Market Research** – channel effectiveness data, customer acquisition benchmarks
+  - **Risk & Failure Research** – failure modes, key success factors from similar ventures
+
+### **3. Scope Boundaries**
+- **Investment range:** What seed capital are we considering? ($5K–$50K? $50K–$250K?)
+- **Timeline:** Standard 3–12 month evaluation period, or different?
+- **Success metrics:** What defines "minimum viable" at day 90?
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+1. **Opportunity brief** (2–3 sentences describing the business idea)
+2. **Market research data** (paste or reference the three `{biz_data_X}` sections above)
+3. **Financial assumptions** (assumed CAC, conversion rates, pricing, cost structure)
+4. **Strategic context** (why Crimson Leaf should incubate this vs. delegate to deterministic tools or existing Tenants)
+
+Once received, I will produce a complete, citation-rich business plan ready for David's investment review.
