+# HOLD — INCOMPLETE REQUEST
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings. I have received your message requesting a full, investor-grade business plan, but the request is **missing critical input**.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+You have provided:
+
+✅ **Context:** Crimson Leaf's charter, governance structure, and portfolio state  
+✅ **Template:** The exact business plan format I must deliver  
+✅ **My role:** Research director preparing for David's funding decision  
+
+❌ **MISSING:** The actual opportunity details  
+❌ **MISSING:** Market analysis data (`biz_data_1`, `biz_data_2`, `biz_data_3`)  
+❌ **MISSING:** Task message content describing the business concept
+
+---
+
+## What I Cannot Do
+
+Per my instructions, I cannot:
+- **Invent** an opportunity or market data
+- **Hallucinate** URLs, financial benchmarks, or competitive analysis
+- **Bypass** the citation rules requiring verified sources and explicit assumptions
+
+---
+
+## What You Need to Provide
+
+**Please include:**
+
+1. **Opportunity Name & Description**  
+   (What business are we evaluating? Who does it serve? What problem does it solve?)
+
+2. **Market Analysis Data** (biz_data_1)  
+   (TAM, growth rates, target customer profiles, community pain points)
+
+3. **Business Model Examples** (biz_data_2)  
+   (Real competitor pricing, revenue models, unit economics from similar ventures)
+
+4. **Go-to-Market Research** (biz_data_3)  
+   (Proven acquisition channels, conversion benchmarks, cost-per-acquisition for this niche)
+
+5. **Risk & Failure Research** (biz_data_4)  
+   (Historical failure modes in this space, why competitors fail, what works)
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Resubmit your message with:**
+- The opportunity concept in the task message
+- The research data attachments or inline context
+- Any preliminary assumptions David has already approved
+
+Once received, I will deliver a **complete, cited, investment-ready business plan** within the format specified.
+
+**— Orion**
