+# HALT: Missing Critical Input
+
+I cannot produce a business plan without the core information required by this task.
+
+## What's Missing:
+
+1. **Operator Message / Opportunity Description** — The "*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***" section is empty. I need you to specify:
+   - What business opportunity or problem should I analyze?
+   - What market niche, customer segment, or service area?
+   - Any constraints or strategic context?
+
+2. **Research Data Blocks** — The template references three data sources that are undefined:
+   - `{biz_data_1}` — Business Model Examples
+   - `{biz_data_2}` — Go-to-Market Channel Research
+   - `{biz_data_3}` — Risk and Failure Research
+
+   These are placeholders with no actual content. I cannot cite sources or build financial models without this data.
+
+3. **Charter Context** — While the RAG databases provide Crimson Leaf's constitutional framework and portfolio context, they don't specify which incubation opportunity this plan should address.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need From You:
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+1. **The Opportunity Brief** (100-200 words):
+   - What problem exists?
+   - What market are we targeting?
+   - Why does this fit Crimson Leaf's mandate?
+
+2. **The Research Data** (paste or link):
+   - Competitor pricing models and unit economics
+   - Go-to-market channels and their typical conversion rates / CAC
+   - Common failure modes in this space (why competitors fail)
+
+3. **Any Constraints**:
+   - Budget ceiling for seed capital?
+   - Timeline urgency?
+   - Strategic dependencies on existing Tenants?
+
+---
+
+**Once you provide these, I will deliver a complete, investor-grade business plan with:**
+- 10+ cited sources (real URLs, no invented citations)
+- Explicit assumptions for every financial projection
+- A clear 90-day decision gate
+- A funding recommendation grounded in data
+
+**Awaiting your input.**
