+# UNABLE TO PROCEED – OPERATOR INPUT REQUIRED
+
+---
+
+## Status
+**Role:** Orion, Director of Research | **Action:** Business Plan Generation  
+**Blocker:** Missing operator input
+
+---
+
+## What I Need From You
+
+You've invoked the `business_plan` chair role and provided:
+- ✅ Project context (Crimson Leaf charter, governance framework)
+- ✅ Project description ("Incubation: Discover and launch new AI-powered business units")
+- ✅ Template structure (detailed business plan format)
+
+**But you have not provided:**
+- ❌ **The specific opportunity to analyze** – the "task message" referenced in your prompt is empty
+- ❌ **Market research data** – the three data placeholders remain unfilled:
+  - `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples
+  - `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research
+  - `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research
+
+---
+
+## What Happens Next
+
+**To trigger a full business plan analysis, provide:**
+
+1. **Opportunity Name & Description**
+   - What business unit should Crimson Leaf incubate?
+   - What problem does it solve? For whom?
+   - Example: *"Indie author digital storefronts – high-conversion book sales pages for self-published authors"*
+
+2. **Market Research (fill the three data blocks)**
+   - Real examples of existing business models in this space
+   - Actual GTM channels (SEO, affiliate, email, paid ads, etc.) with sourced data
+   - Documented failure modes and competitive risks
+
+3. **Any Constraints**
+   - Budget ceiling for this incubation?
+   - Timeline pressure?
+   - Portfolio fit considerations (does this extend existing Tenants or require new)?
+
+---
+
+## I Am Ready To Deliver
+
+Once you provide the opportunity and research data, I will produce:
+- **Full investor-grade business plan** with 10+ cited sources
+- **All assumptions explicitly stated** before every financial figure
+- **Specific 90-day go-to-market roadmap** with decision gates
+- **Risk register tied to real failure data**
+- **Clear FUND / PILOT FIRST / DO NOT FUND recommendation**
+
+---
+
+**Reply with the opportunity details and research, and I'll begin analysis immediately.**
