+# ⚠️ TASK INCOMPLETE — MISSING CRITICAL INPUT
+
+**Orion cannot proceed with business plan preparation.**
+
+---
+
+## What's Missing
+
+Your task message contains **placeholder variables** that were not populated:
+
+```
+=== BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
+{biz_data_1}
+=== END BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
+
+=== GO-TO-MARKET CHANNEL RESEARCH ===
+{biz_data_2}
+=== END GTM RESEARCH ===
+
+=== RISK AND FAILURE RESEARCH ===
+{biz_data_3}
+=== END RISK RESEARCH ===
+```
+
+**Additionally:**
+- No **opportunity name or description** was provided in the current message
+- No **market analysis commit reference** from Gitea was linked
+- The **CHAIR instruction** references "business_plan" but provides no specific venture to analyze
+
+---
+
+## What Orion Needs to Proceed
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan, please provide:
+
+1. **Venture Opportunity** — What specific business are we planning?
+   - *Example: "AI-powered indie author landing page design service"*
+
+2. **Market Research Data** — The three research datasets:
+   - `{biz_data_1}`: Business model examples (SaaS, affiliate, subscription structures, pricing)
+   - `{biz_data_2}`: Go-to-market channels (SEO, email, affiliate networks, paid ads, community)
+   - `{biz_data_3}`: Failure modes and risk patterns from comparable ventures
+
+3. **Market Analysis Reference** — If already in Gitea:
+   - Gitea commit hash or path to the market analysis document
+
+4. **Target Customer Profile** — Who are we serving? (indie authors, SMB founders, etc.)
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please reply with:**
+- The venture name / description
+- The three research datasets (paste directly or reference Gitea paths)
+- Any existing market analysis I should build from
+
+Once I have these inputs, I'll deliver a complete, cited, investment-ready business plan in 2-3 hours.
