+
+## What Orion Needs to Proceed
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan, please provide:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name & Description** — What is the business? (e.g., "Indie Author Web Storefronts," "AI-Powered Technical SEO," etc.)
+
+2. **Market Analysis Data** (`{biz_data_1}`) — TAM, growth rates, customer segments, key trends
+
+3. **Business Model Examples & Pricing Benchmarks** (`{biz_data_2}`) — Comparable SaaS/content/service businesses with verified unit economics
+
+4. **Go-to-Market Channel Research** — Proven acquisition channels, cost data, conversion benchmarks
+
+5. **Risk & Failure Case Studies** — Why similar businesses fail, what kills traction, documented failure modes with sources
+
+6. **Gitea Reference** — Link to any pre-drafted market analysis already in version control
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Resubmit with:**
+- Populated research sections (or attach the RAG documents directly)
+- Clear opportunity thesis
+- Any existing analysis from Gitea that should anchor the plan
+
+Once the data is complete, Orion will deliver a **full, sources-cited, investor-ready business plan** suitable for David's funding decision.
