+# CLARIFICATION REQUIRED
+
+I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a critical issue before proceeding.
+
+## The Missing Input
+
+**No specific opportunity has been provided in the current message.**
+
+The prompt structure includes placeholders for:
+- `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` → "Operator: [blank] | Message: [blank]"
+- `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` → all unfilled
+
+**I cannot produce a business plan without:**
+
+1. **The Opportunity Name** (What business are we evaluating?)
+2. **The Market Context** (Which niche, industry, or customer segment?)
+3. **The Research Data** (Market analysis, GTM channels, risk factors already compiled)
+4. **The Specific Problem** (What gap exists? Why now?)
+
+## What I Need From You
+
+Please provide:
+
+```
+Opportunity: [Name of the venture]
+Target Market: [Customer segment / niche]
+Problem Statement: [The specific gap this solves]
+Market Research: [TAM, growth rate, customer pain points]
+Competitive Landscape: [Who exists today, why they fail]
+Go-to-Market Options: [Channels already researched]
+Risk Factors: [Failure modes already identified]
+```
+
+Alternatively, if you have a specific **Incubation Project** in mind (e.g., "indie author web presence," "manuscript formatting," "AI research infrastructure"), state it clearly and I'll build the business plan from the RAG context provided above.
+
+---
+
+**Once you provide the opportunity details, I will deliver:**
+- Full investor-grade business plan
+- ≥10 cited sources (no invented URLs)
+- Explicit financial assumptions
+- 90-day decision gate with clear thresholds
+- Recommendation: FUND / PILOT FIRST / DO NOT FUND
+
+**Ready when you are. What opportunity should we evaluate?**
