+I appreciate the detailed charter and framework, but I need to flag a critical structural issue before proceeding.
+
+## The Problem
+
+**The operator's message is empty.** The prompt says:
+
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+There is no opportunity description, market gap, or business concept for me to analyze. The template references `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, and `{biz_data_3}` as research foundations, but these are unfilled placeholders—no market analysis, business model examples, GTM research, or risk data have been provided.
+
+Additionally, the RAG context contains **strategic architectural direction** (e.g., references to Ink & Anchor Digital, Forge & Flux Digital, and manuscript packaging Tenants) but **no specific opportunity brief** that I'm being asked to evaluate.
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan as Orion, I require:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Statement**: What business idea or market gap is being proposed for incubation? (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web storefronts," "manuscript formatting automation," etc.)
+
+2. **The Research Payload**: 
+   - `biz_data_1` (business model examples with benchmarks, pricing, unit economics)
+   - `biz_data_2` (go-to-market channel research with conversion rates, CAC data, channel recommendations)
+   - `biz_data_3` (failure modes, competitive risks, market saturation data)
+
+3. **The Target Customer**: Who is David building this for? (indie authors, SaaS founders, enterprise X?)
+
+4. **The Assumed CEO Profile** (if any): Is there a founding CEO in mind, or should the business plan specify the CEO search profile?
+
+## My Recommendation
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+- The specific opportunity description (2-3 paragraph brief)
+- The three research data blocks fully populated
+- Any prior market analysis or data already committed to Gitea (referenced above)
+
+Once I have those inputs, I'll deliver a full, numbered, source-cited business plan ready for David's fund-or-pass decision.
