# PAUSE – CRITICAL CONTEXT MISSING

Orion cannot produce an investor-grade business plan without the core input that should accompany this task.

## What I'm Looking For

The prompt structure indicates that **the task message should contain**:

1. **Opportunity Description** – What specific venture is being evaluated? (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web storefronts," "manuscript formatting service," "niche content platform")
2. **Market Research Data** – Referenced as `{biz_data_1}`, `{biz_data_2}`, `{biz_data_3}` (business models, GTM channels, risk research)
3. **Operator Decision Context** – Why *this* opportunity, *now*, and what constraints apply?

## What I See Instead

The **Operator's Message field is empty**. The RAG databases contain Crimson Leaf's constitutional charter and historical project notes, but **no specific opportunity brief**.

---

## How to Proceed

Please provide:

```
OPPORTUNITY BRIEF:
- Name/Working Title: [what are we funding?]
- Problem Statement: [what gap does it solve?]
- Target Customer: [who benefits?]
- Initial Hypothesis: [why does this work?]

RESEARCH ATTACHMENTS:
- Market data (TAM, growth, competitors)
- Business model examples (pricing, unit economics)
- GTM channel research (distribution, CAC benchmarks)
- Failure research (relevant risks)

DECISION CONTEXT:
- Budget ceiling (if any)
- Timeline pressure
- Portfolio constraints
- David's strategic priority ranking
```

Once you provide the **opportunity brief and research data**, Orion will deliver a complete, cited, investor-grade business plan ready for funding decision.

**Waiting for operator input.**
