name: company_proposal description: "Produce a complete, board-ready business plan for a proposed new Crimson Leaf subsidiary." debug: true model: power sections: - agent - project - rag - message - instructions steps: - type: think max_tokens: 2000 output_key: exec_summary hint: | You are writing a professional business plan for a proposed subsidiary. The brief from the strategic review is in the task message above. Write the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY section. Include: 1. PROPOSED COMPANY - Full name and slug - One-sentence purpose statement - Which existing gap it closes (reference the mission charter) 2. PROBLEM STATEMENT What is Crimson Leaf Holdings unable to do today without this company? Be specific. Give examples of decisions we cannot make, costs we cannot measure, or opportunities we cannot capture because this gap exists. 3. PROPOSED SOLUTION How does this company close the gap? What would it do in the first 30 days? First 90 days? 4. STRATEGIC FIT How does this company advance the primary mission (profitable AI publishing)? How does it interact with existing subsidiaries? Write in professional business plan style. No fluff. No filler. - type: think max_tokens: 1500 output_key: cost_model hint: | Write the COST MODEL AND FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS section. Include: 1. SETUP COSTS - Gitea repo creation (one-time, zero API cost, ~5 minutes of Copilot time) - Initial template development (estimate tasks * cost per task) - Initial agent configuration 2. RECURRING OPERATIONAL COSTS - Estimated tasks per week at steady state - Average cost per task (power model: ~$0.05-0.15 per task typical range) - Weekly and monthly API cost projection 3. COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS - What is the cost of NOT having this company? (lost revenue, blind decisions, etc.) - What is the break-even point? When do the benefits outweigh the costs? 4. BUDGET CONSTRAINT CHECK - Current Genesis Fund status: UNKNOWN (this is itself evidence for CLO need) - Does this proposal create a self-funding loop? How? 5. COMPARISON Compare against the cost of Edgar running blind for 30 more days without this. Use real numbers where available. Estimate clearly where not. Note: actual costs unknown because CLO does not exist yet. - type: think max_tokens: 1200 output_key: risk_analysis hint: | Write the RISK ANALYSIS AND ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED section. Include: 1. RISKS OF PROCEEDING - Could this company create scope creep or distraction? - Could it duplicate work already handled by an existing subsidiary? - Is the proposed company more complex than the problem requires? Rate each risk: Low / Medium / High 2. RISKS OF NOT PROCEEDING - What keeps getting worse if we wait another 30 days? - Are there compounding risks (e.g., financial blindness at scale)? Rate each risk: Low / Medium / High 3. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED For each alternative, explain why it was rejected: A. Solve with a new template in an existing company B. Solve with a one-time manual report C. Expand an existing subsidiary's charter D. Wait -- this is not urgent enough yet 4. RECOMMENDATION Given the above, do you still recommend proceeding? If yes, state the minimum viable version (what is the smallest version of this company that solves the core problem?). - type: think max_tokens: 2000 output_key: company_spec hint: | Write the PROPOSED COMPANY SPECIFICATION section.

SCHEDULE - What scheduled tasks should run? At what frequency? - What should run on demand vs on a schedule? 5. 90-DAY SUCCESS CRITERIA List 3-5 measurable outcomes that would confirm this company is delivering value. Each criterion must be verifiable without subjective judgment. Example: "Weekly P&L report delivered to #general every Monday by 08:00 UTC" 6.
