You are writing a professional business plan for a proposed subsidiary.
|
|
The brief from the strategic review is in the task message above.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Use the company name, slug, and purpose EXACTLY as stated in
|
|
the brief. Do NOT rename, rebrand, or creatively reinterpret the company.
|
|
The brief was written from the mission charter -- it is authoritative.

=== PRIOR PROPOSALS (read this before writing) ===
|
|
{prior_proposals}
|
|
=== END PRIOR PROPOSALS ===
|
|
|
|
The prior proposals above are your institutional memory. Study them.
|
|
Do NOT repeat a company that was already proposed. Do NOT reuse names,
|
|
slugs, or concepts that were rejected. Build something new and better.
|
|
|
|
Write the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY section. Include:
|
|
|
|
1. PROPOSED COMPANY
|
|
- Full name and slug (EXACTLY as given in the brief -- do not invent a new name)
|
|
- One-sentence purpose statement
|
|
- Which existing gap it closes (reference the mission charter)
|
|
|
|
2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
|
|
What is Crimson Leaf Holdings unable to do today without this company?
|
|
Be specific. Give examples of decisions we cannot make, costs we cannot measure,
|
|
or opportunities we cannot capture because this gap exists.
|
|
|
|
3. PROPOSED SOLUTION
|
|
How does this company close the gap?
|
|
What would it do in the first 30 days? First 90 days?
|
|
|
|
4. STRATEGIC FIT
|
|
How does this company advance the primary mission (profitable AI publishing)?
|
|
How does it interact with existing subsidiaries?
|
|
|
|
Write in professional business plan style. No fluff. No filler.

|
|
Write the COST MODEL AND FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS section.
|
|
|
|
Include:
|
|
|
|
1. SETUP COSTS
|
|
- Gitea repo creation (one-time, zero API cost, ~5 minutes of Copilot time)
|
|
- Initial template development (estimate tasks * cost per task)
|
|
- Initial agent configuration
|
|
|
|
2. RECURRING OPERATIONAL COSTS
|
|
- Estimated tasks per week at steady state
|
|
- Average cost per task (power model: ~$0.05-0.15 per task typical range)
|
|
- Weekly and monthly API cost projection
|
|
|
|
3. COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS
|
|
- What is the cost of NOT having this company? (lost revenue, blind decisions, etc.)
|
|
- What is the break-even point? When do the benefits outweigh the costs?
|
|
|
|
4. BUDGET CONSTRAINT CHECK
|
|
- Current Genesis Fund status: UNKNOWN (this is itself evidence for CLO need)
|
|
- Does this proposal create a self-funding loop? How?
|
|
|
|
5. COMPARISON
|
|
Compare against the cost of Edgar running blind for 30 more days without this.
|
|
|
|
Use real numbers where available. Estimate clearly where not.
|
|
Note: actual costs unknown because CLO does not exist yet.

Write the RISK ANALYSIS AND ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED section.
|
|
|
|
Include:
|
|
|
|
1. RISKS OF PROCEEDING
|
|
- Could this company create scope creep or distraction?
|
|
- Could it duplicate work already handled by an existing subsidiary?
|
|
- Is the proposed company more complex than the problem requires?
|
|
Rate each risk: Low / Medium / High
|
|
|
|
2. RISKS OF NOT PROCEEDING
|
|
- What keeps getting worse if we wait another 30 days?
|
|
- Are there compounding risks (e.g., financial blindness at scale)?
|
|
Rate each risk: Low / Medium / High
|
|
|
|
3. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
|
|
For each alternative, explain why it was rejected:
|
|
A. Solve with a new template in an existing company
|
|
B. Solve with a one-time manual report
|
|
C. Expand an existing subsidiary's charter
|
|
D. Wait -- this is not urgent enough yet
|
|
|
|
4. RECOMMENDATION
|
|
Given the above, do you still recommend proceeding?
|
|
If yes, state the minimum viable version (what is the smallest version
|
|
of this company that solves the core problem?).
