+# PAUSE – CRITICAL CONTEXT MISSING
+
+Orion cannot produce an investor-grade business plan without the core input that should accompany this task.
+
+## What I'm Looking For
+
+The prompt structure indicates that **the task message should contain**:
+
+1. **Opportunity Description** – What specific venture is being evaluated? (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web storefronts," "manuscript formatting service," "niche content platform")
+2. **Market Research Data** – Referenced as `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` (business models, GTM channels, risk research)
+3. **Operator Decision Context** – Why *this* opportunity, *now*, and what constraints apply?
+
+## What I See Instead
+
+The **Operator's Message field is empty**. The RAG databases contain Crimson Leaf's constitutional charter and historical project notes, but **no specific opportunity brief**.
+
+---
+
+## How to Proceed
+
+Please provide:
+
+```
+OPPORTUNITY BRIEF:
+- Name/Working Title: [what are we funding?]
+- Problem Statement: [what gap does it solve?]
+- Target Customer: [who benefits?]
+- Initial Hypothesis: [why does this work?]
+
+RESEARCH ATTACHMENTS:
+- Market data (TAM, growth, competitors)
+- Business model examples (pricing, unit economics)
+- GTM channel research (distribution, CAC benchmarks)
+- Failure research (relevant risks)
+
+DECISION CONTEXT:
+- Budget ceiling (if any)
+- Timeline pressure
+- Portfolio constraints
+- David's strategic priority ranking
+```
+
+Once you provide the **opportunity brief and research data**, Orion will deliver a complete, cited, investor-grade business plan ready for funding decision.
+
+**Waiting for operator input.**
