+# TASK INTAKE ERROR
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ **INCOMPLETE REQUEST**
+
+---
+
+## Issue
+
+You've invoked the `business_plan` role, but the **task message is empty**. I cannot produce an investor-grade business plan without:
+
+1. **Opportunity identification** – What specific business are we analyzing?
+2. **Market context** – Which niche, customer segment, or problem domain?
+3. **Research data** – The RAG placeholders `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` are unfilled.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+Please provide:
+
+```
+OPPORTUNITY: [Name of the business idea]
+PROBLEM: [Specific customer pain point or market gap]
+TARGET CUSTOMER: [Who pays? What is their profile?]
+INITIAL THESIS: [Why does this work? What is the defensible advantage?]
+
+RESEARCH DATA:
+- Market sizing (TAM, addressable market, growth rate)
+- Competitor landscape (who wins today, pricing, positioning)
+- Go-to-market channels (proven routes to customer)
+- Failure case studies (what went wrong for others)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Option A:** Resubmit with a complete task message and populated research sections.
+
+**Option B:** If this is exploratory, I can help you **scope** a business plan by working backward from your core assumption. Send me:
+- *What does this company do in one sentence?*
+- *Who would buy it and why?*
+
+I will then generate a **skeleton business plan** with flagged assumptions for your validation before full buildout.
+

+*Awaiting task clarity to proceed.*
