I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a critical issue before proceeding.

The Problem

You've provided me with:

  • A charter for Crimson Leaf (the incubator governance structure)
  • A project description ("Incubation: Discover and launch new AI-powered business units")
  • Instructions to produce a business plan as "Orion, Director of Research"

But there is no specific opportunity to analyze.

The template you've provided expects me to fill in {biz_data_1}, {biz_data_2}, and {biz_data_3} — market analysis, business model examples, GTM research, and risk research — none of which have been provided.

Without a concrete opportunity (e.g., "indie author web storefronts," "AI-powered manuscript formatting," "niche SaaS for X market"), I cannot produce a credible business plan. A blank template filled with placeholder assumptions would be:

  • Useless for investment decisions
  • Violative of the "CITATION RULES" (no invented URLs or unsourced figures)
  • Inconsistent with the constitutional mandate that all Genesis outputs be grounded in real market intelligence

What I Need

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

  1. The Specific Opportunity — What business unit should Crimson Leaf incubate? (e.g., "An AI-powered service for [target customer] solving [specific problem]")

  2. Market Research Data — The RAG database references indicate this should already exist in Gitea:

    • TAM and growth rate estimates
    • Competitive landscape
    • Customer pain points
    • Go-to-market channel benchmarks
    • Failure modes and risk signals
  3. Any Prior Analysis — Links to the opportunity analysis already committed to your repository

Once you provide these, I will produce a complete, cited, assumption-explicit business plan that meets David's investment standards.

Should I wait for you to supply the opportunity details, or would you like me to demonstrate the template with a hypothetical example first?
