+# ⚠️ HALT: MISSING CRITICAL INPUT
+
+I'm Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I'm ready to produce an investor-grade business plan.
+
+However, **the task message is empty**. I have no opportunity to analyze.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need:
+
+1. **The Opportunity**: What business unit should I evaluate?
+   - Example: "Indie author web design storefront services"
+   - Example: "AI-powered manuscript formatting for self-publishers"
+   - Example: "[Your specific market niche]"
+
+2. **Market Research Data** (referenced as placeholders):
+   - `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples (currently blank)
+   - `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research (currently blank)
+   - `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research (currently blank)
+
+3. **Decision Context**:
+   - Who is the decision-maker? (You mention "David" – is this the Founding CEO or an external investor?)
+   - What is the investment budget range?
+   - What is the timeline for the go-to-market decision?
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps:
+
+**Please provide:**
+1. The specific business opportunity or market niche to evaluate
+2. Any market research, competitor data, or GTM channel insights you'd like me to incorporate
+3. Any risk signals or failure modes specific to this domain
+
+Once I have the opportunity details and research data, I'll produce a complete, cited, investor-grade business plan in the format specified above—with every financial figure, benchmark, and assumption fully justified.
+
+**Standing by for input.**
+
+— Orion, Director of Research
