+I appreciate the detailed context, but I need to flag a critical issue:
+
+**No task message or opportunity has been provided.**
+
+The prompt structure shows:
+```
+*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+Both fields are empty. I have:
+- ✅ The charter (Crimson Leaf's mandate, constitutional rules, portfolio architecture)
+- ✅ The role (Orion, Director of Research)
+- ✅ The output format (investor-grade business plan template)
+- ✅ The citation standards (10+ URLs, assumptions stated, no invented sources)
+- ❌ **The opportunity itself** (What business are we planning?)
+
+**I cannot produce a business plan without knowing:**
+
+1. **What opportunity am I analyzing?** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web design," "manuscript formatting service," "SEO content automation for indie authors," etc.)
+2. **What market analysis, business model examples, GTM research, and failure research have been committed to Gitea?** (The `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` placeholders are unfilled)
+
+---
+
+**Next step:** Please provide:
+
+```
+Opportunity Name: [e.g., "Indie Author Web Presence Design"]
+Operator Message: [the specific business idea / niche / problem statement]
+[Attach or reference the market research data from Gitea]
+```
+
+Once I have the **opportunity details** and **research foundation**, I will produce a complete, citation-heavy, assumption-transparent business plan ready for David's investment decision.
+
+Standing by. ✋
