+# HALT — MISSING CRITICAL INPUT
+
+I cannot produce the business plan you've requested because **the task message is empty**.
+
+Looking at your submission:
+
+```
+*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+The `Message:` field contains no opportunity details, no market context, and no specific business concept to plan.
+
+## What I need to proceed:
+
+1. **Opportunity name and description** — What business unit should Crimson Leaf incubate?
+   - Example: "AI-powered podcast transcript indexing for indie creators"
+   - Example: "Affiliate review content for niche mechanical keyboards"
+
+2. **Target customer profile** — Who benefits?
+
+3. **Core problem being solved** — What gap exists?
+
+4. **The market data placeholders** filled:
+   - `{biz_data_1}` — Business model benchmarks (pricing, margins, unit economics)
+   - `{biz_data_2}` — Go-to-market channel data (CAC, conversion rates, traffic sources)
+   - `{biz_data_3}` — Failure modes and risk research
+
+## Next steps:
+
+**Reply with:**
+1. The specific business opportunity you want planned
+2. Any market research, competitor analysis, or financial data you have
+3. David's stated constraints (budget, timeline, risk tolerance)
+
+Once you provide the opportunity details, I will produce a complete, investor-grade business plan with **10+ cited sources**, explicit assumptions, and a clear funding recommendation aligned with Crimson Leaf's constitutional mandate.

+**Awaiting your message.** 🔴
