ISSUE DETECTED

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


The Problem

You've provided:

  • My role: Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings
  • My task: Produce a full, investor-grade business plan
  • The format template: Comprehensive 90-day decision gate structure
  • Citation rules: Every financial figure must be sourced

But you have NOT provided:

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

The opportunity itself is blank. I don't know:

  1. What business are we planning? (Indie author web presence? Manuscript packaging? A new domain entirely?)
  2. What are the market analysis, business model examples, and GTM/risk research data referenced in the placeholders?
    • {biz_data_1} = ?
    • {biz_data_2} = ?
    • {biz_data_3} = ?
  3. Who is the target customer?
  4. What is the investment thesis David is evaluating?

What I Need to Proceed

Please provide:

  1. The specific opportunity name and one-sentence thesis (e.g., "AI-powered indie author storefront design service for self-published authors")
  2. The market research data (TAM, growth rate, customer pain points, competitive landscape)
  3. Go-to-market channel research (where do these customers hang out, what channels convert, what's the CAC?)
  4. Failure/risk research (what causes businesses in this space to fail, what are the unit economics challenges)

Alternatively, if this is a live intake, tell me:

  • Who requested this business plan? (Is David the requester, or is this a self-initiated portfolio exploration?)
  • What problem or opportunity triggered this planning exercise?

Once you provide the actual opportunity details, I'll produce a complete, citation-heavy, investor-grade business plan with all assumptions explicit and all financial projections grounded in data.

Ready to write on your signal.
