+# Business Plan: [AWAITING TASK MESSAGE]
+
+---
+
+## Issue: Incomplete Operator Input
+
+Orion here. I've received the project charter, context databases, and format specifications—but **the actual opportunity details are missing from your message**.
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan, I need you to provide:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name** – What is the business concept?
+2. **Target Market** – Who is the customer?
+3. **Core Problem** – What gap or pain point does it address?
+4. **Proposed Solution** – How does this business solve it?
+5. **Any Existing Research** – Links to market analysis, GTM data, or failure case studies already committed to Gitea
+
+**Current Status:**
+- ✅ Orion role: activated (Director of Research, Crimson Leaf Holdings)
+- ✅ Format: locked (investor-grade business plan with citations)
+- ✅ Citation rules: enforced (10+ URLs, stated assumptions, no invented sources)
+- ❌ **Opportunity brief: MISSING**
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+Please provide:
+- **The opportunity you want analyzed** (1-2 paragraphs describing the business idea)
+- **Any relevant Gitea links** to existing market research, competitive analysis, or GTM channel data
+- **Timeline expectation** (when do you need this plan?)
+
+Once I have the opportunity details, I will produce a complete, defensible business plan suitable for David's funding decision, with all assumptions explicit and all figures cited.
+
+**Ready to proceed.** Awaiting your message.
+
+—Orion
