+# CRITICAL BLOCKER: REQUEST CANNOT BE EXECUTED
+
+---
+
+## Issue
+
+**There is no message content in the operator's request.** The `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` section is empty:
+
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+This means I cannot identify:
+1. **What opportunity** should be analyzed
+2. **What market** is being targeted
+3. **What business model** is being proposed
+4. **What data sources** are available (the `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` placeholders are unfilled)
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To produce the investor-grade business plan as Orion, Director of Research, please provide:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Description** – What specific business idea, market niche, or venture should I analyze?
+   - Example: *"AI-powered manuscript formatting service for indie authors targeting KDP/IngramSpark compliance"*
+
+2. **Market Analysis Data** – Populate or reference the three research sections:
+   - `{biz_data_1}` – Business model examples, benchmarks, pricing data
+   - `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-market channel research with URLs
+   - `{biz_data_3}` – Risk, failure modes, and competitive threats
+
+3. **Clarification on Scope** – Is this business plan for:
+   - A new Tenant to be incubated under Crimson Leaf?
+   - A strategic pivot or extension of an existing Tenant?
+   - A standalone portfolio opportunity?
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+- A clear opportunity statement (1-2 sentences)
+- The business data, market research, and URLs to cite
+- Any constraints or parameters (budget cap, timeline, target market)
+
+Once the message is complete, I will produce a full, citation-rich business plan ready for David's investment review.
