+# HALT: Missing Required Context
+
+I cannot produce the business plan you've requested because the **operator message is empty** and critical research data placeholders are unfilled.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+### 1. **The Opportunity Definition**
+Your prompt states:
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+
+[THINKING HINT]
+You are Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings.
+Produce a full, investor-grade business plan for the opportunity in the task message.
+```
+
+**The task message is blank.** I need you to specify:
+- **What business opportunity** should I analyze?
+- **Who is the target customer?**
+- **What problem does it solve?**
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Missing Research Data Blocks**
+The template references three critical data sources:
+```
+=== MARKET ANALYSIS (foundation -- already completed) ===
+[The market analysis for this opportunity has already been committed to Gitea.
+ Use the opportunity details from the task message as your foundation.
+ Do not repeat basic market research -- expand on it with the data below.]
+=== END MARKET ANALYSIS ===
+
+=== BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
+{biz_data_1}          ← MISSING / EMPTY
+=== END BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
+
+=== GO-TO-MARKET CHANNEL RESEARCH ===
+{biz_data_2}          ← MISSING / EMPTY
+=== END GTM RESEARCH ===
+
+=== RISK AND FAILURE RESEARCH ===
+{biz_data_3}          ← MISSING / EMPTY
+=== END RISK RESEARCH ===
+```
+
+All three research blocks are empty or placeholder variables.
+
+---
+
+## How to Resubmit
+
+Please provide:
+
+1. **The specific opportunity** (a 1-3 sentence brief identifying the business idea)
+2. **Market research data** (fill in `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` with actual market findings, competitive examples, or GTM case studies)
+3. **Any Gitea-committed materials** you'd like me to reference
+
+Once you provide these, I will produce a **complete, investment-grade business plan** with cited sources, unit economics, and a clear FUND/PILOT/DO NOT FUND recommendation aligned with Crimson Leaf's Genesis Protocol.
+
+---
+
+**Ready when you are.** What opportunity should Crimson Leaf incubate?
