⚠️ MISSING CRITICAL INPUT

Orion here. I've received the task to produce a business plan for the "Incubation" project, but the operator message is empty — there is no opportunity description, market data, or specific venture to analyze.

To deliver a complete, investor-grade business plan that David will use to make a funding decision, I need:

Required Inputs

  1. Opportunity Name & Description

    • What specific business unit or venture are we incubating?
    • Example: "AI-powered indie author web design," "manuscript formatting service," "affiliate review platform"
  2. Market Data (referenced as {biz_data_1}, {biz_data_2}, {biz_data_3})

    • Business model benchmarks (CAC, LTV, conversion rates, pricing precedents)
    • Go-to-market channel research (proven GTM playbooks, channel costs, audience sizes)
    • Risk and failure research (why similar ventures fail, market saturation signals)
  3. Target Customer Profile

    • Who is the primary customer?
    • What is their current pain point?
    • Where do they congregate (online communities, forums, platforms)?
  4. Preliminary Economics

    • Rough TAM estimate
    • Assumed pricing or revenue model
    • Known cost drivers or operational constraints

Next Steps

Please provide:

  • The specific opportunity you want planned (name + 2-3 sentence description)
  • Any market research, competitor data, or GTM channel insights already gathered
  • Assumptions about team structure, budget, or timeline

Once I have these inputs, I'll deliver a complete, cite-rich business plan with:

  • All financial figures grounded in stated assumptions
  • 10+ cited sources (no invented URLs)
  • Clear break-even and scaling thresholds
  • 90-day decision gate with go/no-go criteria
  • FUND / PILOT / DO NOT FUND recommendation with risk-grounded rationale

Awaiting opportunity details.
