+# HALT — CRITICAL INPUT MISSING
+
+Orion cannot proceed with the business plan request.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need
+
+The **CURRENT MESSAGE** section contains:
+
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+**Both fields are empty.** There is no opportunity description, no market problem statement, no customer definition, and no strategic context for the business plan.
+
+Additionally, the research data placeholders are unfilled:
+
+- `{biz_data_1}` — Business Model Examples (missing)
+- `{biz_data_2}` — Go-to-Market Channel Research (missing)
+- `{biz_data_3}` — Risk and Failure Research (missing)
+
+---
+
+## What You Must Provide
+
+To generate an investor-grade business plan, please supply:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Statement** (in the Message field above):
+   - What specific business or market niche should this plan address?
+   - Who is the target customer?
+   - What problem are we solving?
+   - Example: *"AI-powered manuscript formatting for self-published authors seeking print-ready PDFs compatible with KDP and IngramSpark."*
+
+2. **Market Research Data** (fill `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}`):
+   - Business model benchmarks (pricing, unit economics, comparable SaaS models)
+   - GTM channel strategies (affiliate partnerships, SEO, content, paid ads, community)
+   - Risk case studies (what has failed in similar verticals, and why)
+
+3. **Strategic Context** (optional but helpful):
+   - Why is Crimson Leaf incubating this *now*?
+   - Is this filling a portfolio gap, or extending an existing Tenant?
+   - What is the founding CEO profile we should recruit for?
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Reply with:**
+- The opportunity description in the Message field
+- The three research datasets above
+- Any additional strategic constraints
+
+Once received, I will produce a complete, cited, investor-grade business plan targeting David's funding decision gate.
