+# ⚠️ REQUEST CANNOT BE PROCESSED
+
+## Status: Missing Critical Input
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I am ready to produce an investor-grade business plan. However, the request is **incomplete**.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+### 1. **The Opportunity** (MISSING)
+The placeholder reads:
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+**I require:**
+- A specific business opportunity, problem statement, or market niche to analyze
+- Examples: "indie author web presence design," "AI-powered manuscript formatting," "genre-specific book marketing," etc.
+
+### 2. **Research Data** (MISSING)
+The template references three data sources that were not provided:
+- `{biz_data_1}` — Business Model Examples
+- `{biz_data_2}` — Go-to-Market Channel Research  
+- `{biz_data_3}` — Risk and Failure Research
+
+**I require:**
+- Actual market research, competitor analysis, or data files
+- Without this, I cannot cite sources or ground financial projections in evidence
+
+### 3. **Context Clarification** (OPTIONAL BUT HELPFUL)
+- Is this a **new Tenant incubation** (requiring full Genesis Protocol vetting), or a **research brief for an existing opportunity**?
+- Who is the **decision-maker** (David? The executive board)?
+- What is the **investment ceiling** or **risk tolerance**?
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+1. **The opportunity description** — What business idea or market gap should I analyze?
+2. **Any available market research** — URLs, data files, competitor intelligence, or GTM insights
+3. **Decision context** — Who funds this, and what threshold of evidence triggers approval?
+
+Once you supply these inputs, I will deliver a **complete, citation-heavy, investor-grade business plan** ready for capital allocation review.
+
+---
+
+**Awaiting your message.**
