# ⚠️ HALT: MISSING CRITICAL INPUT

I've reviewed the prompt structure and identified a **blocking issue**:

## What's Missing

The message template references three research databases that should populate the business plan:

```
=== BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===
{biz_data_1}
=== END BUSINESS MODEL EXAMPLES ===

=== GO-TO-MARKET CHANNEL RESEARCH ===
{biz_data_2}
=== END GTM RESEARCH ===

=== RISK AND FAILURE RESEARCH ===
{biz_data_3}
=== END RISK RESEARCH ===
```

**These placeholders are empty.** There is also **no opportunity description** in the "CURRENT MESSAGE" section—just empty fields:

```
Operator: 
Message: 
```

## What I Need to Proceed

To produce an investor-grade business plan, please provide:

1. **The Opportunity**: What is the specific business being evaluated? (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web storefronts," "manuscript formatting automation," etc.)

2. **Market Research Data** (`{biz_data_1}`): Examples of comparable business models, pricing structures, unit economics, customer acquisition costs, and revenue benchmarks.

3. **Go-to-Market Research** (`{biz_data_2}`): Channel performance data, conversion rates, customer acquisition strategies, and platform-specific insights.

4. **Risk Research** (`{biz_data_3}`): Documented failure modes, market saturation signals, competitive threats, and mitigation case studies.

## Next Steps

**Option A: Provide the Research Data**
Reply with the three research datasets and the opportunity description. I will immediately generate the full business plan in the format specified.

**Option B: Escalate to Intake**
If this is a new opportunity not yet analyzed, route through **Lyra (Intake Coordinator)** to conduct initial market research and populate the RAG databases before this planning phase begins.
