# HALT: PROCESS ERROR

I cannot complete this task as written because **the operator message is empty**.

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

The instruction asks me to "Produce a full, investor-grade business plan for the opportunity in the task message," but no opportunity has been specified.

---

## What I need to proceed:

1. **Opportunity Definition:** What specific business opportunity should this business plan address? 
   - Examples: "AI-powered indie author landing page design," "manuscript formatting service," "affiliate book recommendation network," etc.

2. **Research Data:** The template references three research datasets:
   - `{biz_data_1}` — Business Model Examples
   - `{biz_data_2}` — Go-to-Market Channel Research  
   - `{biz_data_3}` — Risk and Failure Research
   
   These are currently **empty placeholders**. Either provide the data or confirm I should proceed with general industry research.

3. **Decision Authority:** Who is "David"? (Presumably the funding decision-maker, but this should be explicit.)

---

## Next Steps:

**Please provide:**
- The specific **opportunity name and brief description**
- The **research datasets** (or permission to conduct independent research)
- Confirmation of the **funding decision-maker's identity and constraints**

Once clarified, I will produce a complete, citation-heavy business plan meeting the format and rigor specified above.
