+I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a critical issue before proceeding.
+
+## The Problem
+
+You've provided me with:
+- A charter for Crimson Leaf (the incubator governance structure)
+- A project description ("Incubation: Discover and launch new AI-powered business units")
+- Instructions to produce a business plan as "Orion, Director of Research"
+
+**But there is no specific opportunity to analyze.**
+
+The template you've provided expects me to fill in `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, and `{biz_data_3}` — market analysis, business model examples, GTM research, and risk research — **none of which have been provided.**
+
+Without a concrete opportunity (e.g., "indie author web storefronts," "AI-powered manuscript formatting," "niche SaaS for X market"), I cannot produce a credible business plan. A blank template filled with placeholder assumptions would be:
+- Useless for investment decisions
+- Violative of the "CITATION RULES" (no invented URLs or unsourced figures)
+- Inconsistent with the constitutional mandate that all Genesis outputs be grounded in real market intelligence
+
+## What I Need
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan, please provide:
+
+1. **The Specific Opportunity** — What business unit should Crimson Leaf incubate? (e.g., "An AI-powered service for [target customer] solving [specific problem]")
+
+2. **Market Research Data** — The RAG database references indicate this should already exist in Gitea:
+   - TAM and growth rate estimates
+   - Competitive landscape
+   - Customer pain points
+   - Go-to-market channel benchmarks
+   - Failure modes and risk signals
+
+3. **Any Prior Analysis** — Links to the opportunity analysis already committed to your repository
+
+**Once you provide these, I will produce a complete, cited, assumption-explicit business plan that meets David's investment standards.**
+
+Should I wait for you to supply the opportunity details, or would you like me to demonstrate the template with a *hypothetical* example first?
