+# ISSUE DETECTED
+
+I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a **critical blocker** before proceeding.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+You've provided:
+- ✅ My role: **Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings**
+- ✅ My task: **Produce a full, investor-grade business plan**
+- ✅ The format template: **Comprehensive 90-day decision gate structure**
+- ✅ Citation rules: **Every financial figure must be sourced**
+
+But you have **NOT provided**:
+
+```
+*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+**The opportunity itself is blank.** I don't know:
+
+1. **What business are we planning?** (Indie author web presence? Manuscript packaging? A new domain entirely?)
+2. **What are the market analysis, business model examples, and GTM/risk research data** referenced in the placeholders?
+   - `{biz_data_1}` = ?
+   - `{biz_data_2}` = ?
+   - `{biz_data_3}` = ?
+3. **Who is the target customer?**
+4. **What is the investment thesis David is evaluating?**
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+Please provide:
+
+1. **The specific opportunity name and one-sentence thesis** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author storefront design service for self-published authors")
+2. **The market research data** (TAM, growth rate, customer pain points, competitive landscape)
+3. **Go-to-market channel research** (where do these customers hang out, what channels convert, what's the CAC?)
+4. **Failure/risk research** (what causes businesses in this space to fail, what are the unit economics challenges)
+
+Alternatively, if this is a **live intake**, tell me:
+- **Who requested this business plan?** (Is David the requester, or is this a self-initiated portfolio exploration?)
+- **What problem or opportunity triggered this planning exercise?**
+
+Once you provide the **actual opportunity details**, I'll produce a **complete, citation-heavy, investor-grade business plan** with all assumptions explicit and all financial projections grounded in data.
+
+**Ready to write on your signal.**
