+# **BLOCKING NOTICE**
+
+I cannot proceed with this request. Here's why:
+
+---
+
+## **Missing Critical Input: The Opportunity**
+
+The task message contains:
+- ✅ A role assignment (Orion, Director of Research)
+- ✅ A template structure for the business plan
+- ✅ Citation rules and formatting requirements
+- ❌ **NO STATED OPPORTUNITY TO ANALYZE**
+
+The placeholder sections reference:
+```
+{biz_data_1}  -- Business Model Examples [EMPTY]
+{biz_data_2}  -- Go-to-Market Research [EMPTY]
+{biz_data_3}  -- Risk Research [EMPTY]
+```
+
+And the critical line reads:
+```
+[Use the opportunity details from the task message as your foundation.]
+```
+
+**There are no opportunity details in the task message.**
+
+---
+
+## **What I Need to Proceed**
+
+Please provide:
+
+1. **The Business Opportunity** (title, thesis, target market)
+   - Example: "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors targeting KDP/IngramSpark"
+
+2. **Market Research Data** (TAM, growth rates, customer pain points)
+   - Can be brief — I will expand
+
+3. **Competitive Landscape** (who exists in this space, pricing, positioning)
+
+4. **Any Preliminary Data** (if available):
+   - Sample GTM channels for this niche
+   - Known failure modes or risks
+   - Pricing benchmarks
+
+---
+
+## **Next Steps**
+
+**Reply with:**
+- The **specific business opportunity** you'd like me to analyze
+- Any **market research or data** you've already gathered
+- The **target customer segment** and their primary pain point
+
+Once you provide the opportunity details, I will produce the full investor-grade business plan following the exact template, citation rules, and assumptions framework outlined above.
+
+**I'm ready to draft immediately upon receiving the opportunity brief.**
