# HALT – Missing Critical Input

**Orion here.** I cannot produce the business plan you've requested because the **operator message is empty**.

The system prompt instructs me to:
> Produce a full, investor-grade business plan for the opportunity in the task message.

But there is **no opportunity described in the current message**. The sections marked:
- `{biz_data_1}` (Business Model Examples) – **EMPTY**
- `{biz_data_2}` (GTM Channel Research) – **EMPTY**
- `{biz_data_3}` (Risk and Failure Research) – **EMPTY**

And critically: **no opportunity name, market segment, or business concept has been specified**.

## What I Need to Proceed

Please provide **ONE** of the following:

### Option A: Full Task Input
Resubmit with:
1. **Opportunity name and description** (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web storefront design")
2. **Target market segment** (e.g., "self-published fiction authors, 5K-50K annual revenue")
3. **Research data** filling the three sections above (biz_data_1, biz_data_2, biz_data_3)

### Option B: Reference Existing Gitea Analysis
If market research has already been committed to Crimson Leaf's repository, provide:
- The **Gitea path** to the market analysis document
- The **opportunity name** I should reference

### Option C: Minimal Specification
If you want me to begin with a skeleton and you'll provide research incrementally:
- **Opportunity name** (required)
- **Primary customer segment** (required)
- **Core value proposition** (required)

## Current State

I'm standing by as **Orion, Director of Research**. I have the charter, the format template, and the citation discipline locked. I'm waiting for the **fuel**: the market opportunity itself.

**What venture should I analyze?**
