I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a critical issue before proceeding.

## Problem Statement

**The operator's message is empty.** The section marked `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` contains:

```
Operator: 
Message: 
```

There is no opportunity, business idea, or task described for me to analyze and build a business plan around.

Additionally, the research data placeholders are unfilled:

```
=== BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
{biz_data_1}
=== END BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===

=== GO-TO-MARKET CHANNEL RESEARCH ===
{biz_data_2}
=== END GTM RESEARCH ===

=== RISK AND FAILURE RESEARCH ===
{biz_data_3}
=== END RISK RESEARCH ===
```

These are template variables, not actual research.

## What I Need to Proceed

To produce an investor-grade business plan as Orion, Director of Research, I need:

1. **The Opportunity Description**: What specific business, product, or service are we incubating? (e.g., "An AI-powered indie author web design storefront service," "A manuscript formatting automation platform," etc.)

2. **Market Research Data**: Populated `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` with:
   - Competitive models and pricing benchmarks
   - GTM channels with conversion rates, CAC data, and sourced examples
   - Failure case studies and risk patterns relevant to this opportunity

3. **Recipient Clarity**: Is this plan for David (as implied by "David will read to decide whether to fund"), or another decision-maker?

## Next Steps

Please provide:
- [ ] The specific business opportunity to plan
- [ ] The three research data blocks (or point me to where they're stored)
- [ ] Confirmation of the decision-maker/audience

Once I have these, I will produce a complete, cited, assumption-explicit business plan following the format above.
