# ⚠️ OPERATIONAL HALT

## Problem Identified

**No task message received.** The `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` section contains:
```
Operator: 
Message: 
```

Both fields are empty. I cannot produce a business plan without:

1. **The specific opportunity** (What business unit should be incubated?)
2. **Market research data** (The `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` placeholders are unfilled)
3. **Opportunity context** (Problem statement, target market, initial hypothesis)

## What I Need to Proceed

Please provide:

### **1. The Opportunity Brief**
- What business unit or market niche should be analyzed?
- Who is the target customer?
- What is the core problem being solved?
- Example: *"An AI-powered affiliate marketing platform for indie authors to monetize backlist through BookFunnel integrations"*

### **2. Market Research Data**
Replace the placeholders with actual research:
- **{biz_data_1}**: Business model examples, comparable ventures, unit economics
- **{biz_data_2}**: Go-to-market channels, customer acquisition strategies, distribution tactics
- **{biz_data_3}**: Failure patterns, competitive threats, market headwinds

### **3. Any Constraints or Assumptions**
- Target seed budget range?
- Required payback timeline?
- Geographic or platform focus?
- Tenant architectural requirements?

## Next Step

**Reply with:**
1. The opportunity name and problem statement
2. The research data (or URLs to sources)
3. Any Crimson Leaf-specific constraints

I will then deliver a **complete, 95%-adjudication-ready business plan** with full citations, financial assumptions, and a clear FUND/PILOT/DO-NOT-FUND recommendation.
