## What I Need From You

You've invoked the `business_plan` chair role and provided:
- ✅ Project context (Crimson Leaf charter, governance framework)
- ✅ Project description ("Incubation: Discover and launch new AI-powered business units")
- ✅ Template structure (detailed business plan format)

**But you have not provided:**
- ❌ **The specific opportunity to analyze** – the "task message" referenced in your prompt is empty
- ❌ **Market research data** – the three data placeholders remain unfilled:
  - `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples
  - `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research
  - `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research

---

## What Happens Next

**To trigger a full business plan analysis, provide:**

1. **Opportunity Name & Description**
   - What business unit should Crimson Leaf incubate?
   - What problem does it solve? For whom?
   - Example: *"Indie author digital storefronts – high-conversion book sales pages for self-published authors"*

2. **Market Research (fill the three data blocks)**
   - Real examples of existing business models in this space
   - Actual GTM channels (SEO, affiliate, email, paid ads, etc.) with sourced data
   - Documented failure modes and competitive risks

3. **Any Constraints**
   - Budget ceiling for this incubation?
   - Timeline pressure?
   - Portfolio fit considerations (does this extend existing Tenants or require new)?

## I Am Ready To Deliver

Once you provide the opportunity and research data, I will produce:
- **Full investor-grade business plan** with 10+ cited sources
- **All assumptions explicitly stated** before every financial figure
- **Specific 90-day go-to-market roadmap** with decision gates
- **Risk register tied to real failure data**
- **Clear FUND / PILOT FIRST / DO NOT FUND recommendation**

**Reply with the opportunity details and research, and I'll begin analysis immediately.**
