I Cannot Proceed — Missing Critical Input

Orion, Director of Research


I have reviewed the prompt structure and identified a fatal blocker to proceeding with a business plan:

The Problem

The task requests a "full, investor-grade business plan for the opportunity in the task message," but the task message is empty:

*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
Operator: 
Message: 

There is no opportunity description, market niche, or business thesis to plan around.

Additionally, the three research data blocks required by the template are placeholders:

=== 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 ===

None of these contain actual data.


What I Need to Proceed

Provide the following before I generate the business plan:

  1. Opportunity Description (200-500 words):

    • What business/market are we evaluating?
    • What customer problem does it solve?
    • Why is this strategically aligned with Crimson Leaf's portfolio?
  2. Market Research Data ({biz_data_1}):

    • TAM, growth rates, market segmentation
    • Example business models in the space (URLs + metrics)
  3. Go-to-Market Research ({biz_data_2}):

    • Channel options (content, affiliate, paid ads, partnerships, etc.)
    • Cost per channel, conversion benchmarks, time-to-traction
  4. Risk & Failure Research ({biz_data_3}):

    • Competitive failures and why they failed
    • Market adoption barriers
    • Unit economics failure modes

Standing By

Once you provide the opportunity details and research data, I will deliver a complete, cited, investor-grade business plan ready for David's funding decision, including:

✓ Executive summary (4-question framework)
✓ Problem/solution positioning
✓ 12-month revenue projections with explicit assumptions
✓ Break-even analysis
✓ 90-day go-to-market roadmap
✓ Risk register with mitigation
✓ Minimum 10 cited sources

What opportunity should I plan for?
