+# I Need Clarification: No Opportunity Message Received
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ INCOMPLETE REQUEST
+
+---
+
+## What I'm Waiting For
+
+You've asked me to produce an investor-grade business plan, but the **operator message is empty**. The task template shows:
+
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+**I need you to provide:**
+
+1. **The opportunity name** – What business unit are we incubating?
+2. **The core thesis** – What problem does it solve? For whom?
+3. **Why now?** – What market shift, capability gap, or internal need makes this timely?
+4. **Initial constraints** – Budget ceiling? Timeline? Strategic dependencies?
+
+---
+
+## What I Will Produce Once I Have This
+
+Once you provide the opportunity details, I will deliver:
+
+✅ **Full business plan (2,000–3,500 words)** following the exact format specified above  
+✅ **10+ cited sources** with real URLs (no invented citations)  
+✅ **Explicit assumptions** for every financial projection  
+✅ **90-day decision gate** with measurable thresholds  
+✅ **Clear go/no-go recommendation** grounded in market data  
+
+---
+
+## How to Proceed
+
+**Reply with:**
+- **Opportunity title** (e.g., "Indie Author Web Presence Design," "AI-Powered Manuscript Formatting," etc.)
+- **2–3 sentence problem statement**
+- **Target customer segment**
+- **Any research data, market reports, or competitive URLs** you want me to build on
+- **Budget ballpark** (if known)
+
+Once received, I will begin analysis immediately.
