+# ⚠️ REQUEST INCOMPLETE
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I'm ready to produce an investor-grade business plan.
+
+However, the request is **missing the critical input: the opportunity itself.**
+
+## What I need:
+
+**The `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` section is empty.**
+
+To write a complete business plan, I require:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name** – What business are we evaluating?
+2. **Problem Statement** – What gap exists in the market?
+3. **Target Customer** – Who specifically are we serving?
+4. **Proposed Solution** – How does this venture solve the problem?
+5. **Initial Market Hypothesis** – Why does Crimson Leaf believe this is viable?
+
+## What I also note:
+
+The research data placeholders reference:
+- `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples *(not provided)*
+- `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research *(not provided)*
+- `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research *(not provided)*
+
+These should be populated with actual market research, competitor analysis, and failure patterns before I can produce cited, rigorous projections.
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps:
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+1. The **opportunity description** (what are we evaluating?)
+2. Any **market research files** or data already committed to Gitea
+3. **Constraints or scope** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author tools," "B2B SaaS for [X]," etc.)
+
+Once received, I will produce a complete, attribution-dense business plan suitable for David's funding decision.
+
+**Awaiting clarification.**
+
+— Orion
