# TASK INTAKE ERROR

**Status:** ⚠️ **INCOMPLETE REQUEST**

---

## Issue

You've invoked the `business_plan` role, but the **task message is empty**. I cannot produce an investor-grade business plan without:

1. **Opportunity identification** – What specific business are we analyzing?
2. **Market context** – Which niche, customer segment, or problem domain?
3. **Research data** – The RAG placeholders `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` are unfilled.

---

## What I Need to Proceed

Please provide:

```
OPPORTUNITY: [Name of the business idea]
PROBLEM: [Specific customer pain point or market gap]
TARGET CUSTOMER: [Who pays? What is their profile?]
INITIAL THESIS: [Why does this work? What is the defensible advantage?]

RESEARCH DATA:
- Market sizing (TAM, addressable market, growth rate)
- Competitor landscape (who wins today, pricing, positioning)
- Go-to-market channels (proven routes to customer)
- Failure case studies (what went wrong for others)
```

---

## Next Steps

**Option A:** Resubmit with a complete task message and populated research sections.

**Option B:** If this is exploratory, I can help you **scope** a business plan by working backward from your core assumption. Send me:
- *What does this company do in one sentence?*
- *Who would buy it and why?*

I will then generate a **skeleton business plan** with flagged assumptions for your validation before full buildout.
