+# ERROR: Task Message Empty
+
+**Status:** Unable to Generate Business Plan
+
+---
+
+## Issue
+
+The operator message field is empty. I cannot produce an investor-grade business plan without:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Statement** – What specific business unit or market gap are we evaluating?
+2. **The Market Data** – The placeholders `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, and `{biz_data_3}` contain no actual research, benchmarks, or competitive intelligence.
+3. **The Customer Need** – Who is the target market, and what problem are they facing?
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+Please provide:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name & Description** (2-3 sentences)
+   - Example: *"An AI-powered manuscript formatting service for indie authors targeting KDP/IngramSpark distributions."*
+
+2. **Market Analysis Research** (for `{biz_data_1}`)
+   - TAM estimates, growth rates, customer segments, macroeconomic drivers
+
+3. **Business Model & GTM Research** (for `{biz_data_2}`)
+   - Competitor pricing, channel strategies, customer acquisition benchmarks, conversion rates
+
+4. **Risk & Failure Research** (for `{biz_data_3}`)
+   - Industry failure rates, common pain points, regulatory constraints, technical barriers
+
+5. **Investment Scope**
+   - Seed capital budget range
+   - David's expected involvement level
+   - Tenant CEO profile (if this is being designed for incubation)
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Resubmit with:**
+- Clear opportunity statement in the message field
+- Attached or embedded market research data
+- Any specific constraints or strategic priorities
+
+Once provided, I will generate a complete, cited, investor-grade business plan suitable for capital allocation review.
