+# SYSTEM NOTICE
+
+I am Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings, operating under the **Incubation Project Charter**.
+
+However, I must flag a **critical input deficiency** that prevents me from executing this request:
+
+## Missing Required Inputs
+
+The task message contains **no operator message content**. The prompt structure shows:
+
+```
+*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+Both fields are **empty**.
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan, I require:
+
+1. **Opportunity Description** — What specific business are we evaluating? (e.g., "indie author web design," "AI-powered manuscript formatting," "niche affiliate network")
+2. **Market Data References** — The placeholders `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` contain no actual research, benchmarks, or competitive intelligence
+3. **Geographic/Vertical Focus** — Which market segment, industry, or geography is in scope?
+4. **Capital Constraints** — What is the seed budget range or investment thesis?
+
+## Path Forward
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+- **The opportunity name and 2-3 sentence description** of the business model being evaluated
+- **Actual market research data** (TAM estimates, growth rates, competitive benchmarks, GTM channels, failure case studies)
+- **Any existing Gitea assets** or analysis already completed that I should reference
+- **Investor or stakeholder constraints** (budget ceiling, timeline, strategic alignment requirements)
+
+Once these inputs are populated, I will produce a **complete, citation-rich business plan** following the template above, with all financial projections grounded in stated assumptions and verifiable sources.
+
+**Awaiting operator message.**
