# ISSUE DETECTED I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a **critical blocker** before proceeding. --- ## The Problem You've provided: - ✅ My role: **Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings** - ✅ My task: **Produce a full, investor-grade business plan** - ✅ The format template: **Comprehensive 90-day decision gate structure** - ✅ Citation rules: **Every financial figure must be sourced** But you have **NOT provided**: ``` *** CURRENT MESSAGE *** Operator: Message: ``` **The opportunity itself is blank.** I don't know: 1. **What business are we planning?** (Indie author web presence? Manuscript packaging? A new domain entirely?) 2. **What are the market analysis, business model examples, and GTM/risk research data** referenced in the placeholders? - `{biz_data_1}` = ? - `{biz_data_2}` = ? - `{biz_data_3}` = ? 3. **Who is the target customer?** 4. **What is the investment thesis David is evaluating?** --- ## What I Need to Proceed Please provide: 1. **The specific opportunity name and one-sentence thesis** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author storefront design service for self-published authors") 2. **The market research data** (TAM, growth rate, customer pain points, competitive landscape) 3. **Go-to-market channel research** (where do these customers hang out, what channels convert, what's the CAC?) 4. **Failure/risk research** (what causes businesses in this space to fail, what are the unit economics challenges) Alternatively, if this is a **live intake**, tell me: - **Who requested this business plan?** (Is David the requester, or is this a self-initiated portfolio exploration?) - **What problem or opportunity triggered this planning exercise?** Once you provide the **actual opportunity details**, I'll produce a **complete, citation-heavy, investor-grade business plan** with all assumptions explicit and all financial projections grounded in data. **Ready to write on your signal.**
