# DIRECTOR ORION: RESEARCH STATUS REPORT

I appreciate the detailed operational context, but I must flag a critical issue before proceeding with the business plan deliverable.

---

## THE PROBLEM

The task requests a **full, investor-grade business plan** but provides **no operator message containing the specific opportunity to evaluate**.

Looking at your submission:

```
*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
Operator: 
Message: 
```

Both fields are **empty**. I have no:

- **Opportunity name or description** (What business are we planning?)
- **Market context** (Indie authors? B2B SaaS? Something else?)
- **Reference research data** (The `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` placeholders are unfilled)
- **Target customer definition** (Who are we serving?)
- **Revenue thesis** (What's the monetization strategy?)

---

## WHAT I NEED TO PROCEED

To deliver an investor-grade business plan as David's decision document, please provide:

1. **The Opportunity Statement** (in the `Message` field):
   - What business model are we planning?
   - Who is the target customer?
   - What is the core value proposition?

2. **Market Research Data** (filling `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}`):
   - Business model examples from your research
   - Go-to-market channel intelligence
   - Risk and failure case studies

3. **Strategic Context** (confirming assumptions):
   - Is this a new Tenant incubation, or an extension of existing portfolio work?
   - What is the Genesis Fund allocation ceiling for this opportunity?
   - What is the decision timeline David requires?

---

## NEXT STEP

**Resubmit this request with:**
- A populated `Message` field describing the opportunity
- Relevant research excerpts or URLs for `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}`

Once I have those inputs, I'll deliver a complete, cited, assumption-explicit business plan ready for board review.

**Standing by.**
