+# ERROR: MISSING TASK MESSAGE
+
+I am Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I'm ready to produce an investor-grade business plan for the incubation opportunity you've submitted.
+
+However, **the operator message field is empty**. I cannot generate a business plan without knowing:
+
+1. **What is the business opportunity?** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author landing page design," "niche SaaS for X industry," etc.)
+2. **What problem does it solve?**
+3. **Who is the target customer?**
+4. **Why does Crimson Leaf need to incubate this now?**
+
+Additionally, the research data placeholders are not populated:
+- `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples
+- `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research  
+- `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+1. **The specific opportunity** you want analyzed (in the Message field)
+2. **Any market research, competitive data, or GTM insights** you've already gathered
+3. **Any preliminary assumptions** about TAM, customer segments, or revenue model
+
+Once you supply these inputs, I will deliver a complete, cited, operator-grade business plan ready for capital allocation review.
+
+**Awaiting task clarification.**
+
+— Orion, Director of Research
