+# BUSINESS PLAN REQUEST — MISSING CRITICAL INPUT
+
+---
+
+## Issue
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I am ready to produce a full, investor-grade business plan. However, the request is **incomplete**.
+
+### What I Received
+- ✅ Charter context (Crimson Leaf's mission and constitutional boundaries)
+- ✅ Project description ("Incubation: Discover and launch new AI-powered business units")
+- ✅ Business plan template and citation rules
+- ❌ **THE SPECIFIC OPPORTUNITY TO ANALYZE**
+
+### What Is Missing
+
+**The operator's message field is empty.** I cannot produce a business plan without knowing:
+
+1. **What business opportunity are we evaluating?**
+   - E.g., "Indie author web storefronts," "AI-powered manuscript formatting," "Newsletter monetization platform," etc.
+
+2. **Who is the target customer?**
+
+3. **What problem does it solve?**
+
+4. **Why does Crimson Leaf need to invest NOW?**
+
+### What I Need From You
+
+Please provide:
+
+**Message:** [Describe the business opportunity in 2-3 sentences, including:]
+- The specific niche or customer segment
+- The primary problem being solved
+- Why Crimson Leaf should incubate this as a Tenant (vs. extend an existing one)
+
+---
+
+## Example Format
+
+*"Opportunity: AI-powered manuscript formatting and print-ready PDF generation for indie authors publishing to KDP and IngramSpark. Problem: Authors waste 40+ hours manually managing bleed margins, font embedding, and platform-specific metadata. Why Tenant: Deterministic tools (Pandoc, Typst) cannot handle aesthetic judgment and variable input formats intelligently. Speed required: 3-month pilot to validate $X revenue model."*
+
+---
+
+Once you provide the opportunity details, I will produce a **complete, cited, investor-grade business plan** following the template above, with all assumptions explicit and all benchmarks sourced or clearly labeled as unverified.
+
+**Awaiting your input.**
