+# ⚠️ PROCESS HALT
+
+I need to pause and flag a critical structural issue before proceeding.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+I am being asked to generate a **full investor-grade business plan** for an opportunity, but **the task message is empty**:
+
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+There is no opportunity specified, no market context provided, and no specific business thesis to develop.
+
+The RAG context provides:
+- ✅ Crimson Leaf's constitutional charter and governance framework
+- ✅ Historical architectural patterns (Forge & Flux, Ink & Anchor, etc.)
+- ❌ **NO current opportunity or project brief**
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To produce a credible, 95%-worthy business plan, I require **at minimum**:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Statement**
+   - What specific business or market niche is being proposed?
+   - Example: "AI-powered email newsletter platform for indie SaaS founders"
+
+2. **The Market Intelligence Already Completed**
+   - You reference "[market analysis already completed]" but provide no data
+   - I need: TAM estimates, growth rates, customer pain points, competitive landscape
+
+3. **The Business Model Examples** (`{biz_data_1}`)
+   - Placeholder only — no actual benchmarks provided
+
+4. **GTM Channel Research** (`{biz_data_2}`)
+   - Placeholder only — no channel data provided
+
+5. **Risk and Failure Research** (`{biz_data_3}`)
+   - Placeholder only — no failure modes provided
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+A. **The opportunity brief** (1-2 paragraphs describing what business you want a plan for)
+
+B. **Market research data** (TAM, growth rates, competitor names, customer segments)
+
+C. **Any existing deliverables** (Gitea links, prior analyses, competitive intel)
+
+Once I have these, I will generate a **complete, citation-rich, investor-grade business plan** with:
+- ✅ At least 10 verified sources
+- ✅ Explicit assumptions for every financial figure
+- ✅ 90-day decision gates with specific scale/cut thresholds
+- ✅ Constitutional alignment check against Crimson Leaf's charter
+
+**Awaiting opportunity details.**
