⚠️ TASK INCOMPLETE MISSING CRITICAL INPUTS

I'm Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I cannot produce the business plan you've requested. The template and format are clear, but three essential inputs are missing:


What I Need to Proceed

1. The Opportunity Description

Your message contains:

Operator: 
Message: 

Both are blank. I need:

  • What is the business opportunity? (e.g., "AI-powered indie author web storefronts," "manuscript formatting service," etc.)
  • Who is the target customer?
  • What problem does it solve?
  • Why should Crimson Leaf incubate this now?

2. Market Research Data (biz_data_1, biz_data_2, biz_data_3)

The template references:

=== 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 ===

All three are empty placeholders. I need the actual research data, including:

  • Competitor pricing models and unit economics
  • GTM channels used by similar businesses
  • Documented failure modes and risk patterns
  • Real benchmarks (CAC, conversion rates, scaling costs)

3. Recipient and Context

The template mentions "David will read this to decide whether to fund." I need confirmation:

  • Is this for the Founding CEO, a board member, or an external investor?
  • What is the seed budget envelope under consideration?
  • Are there portfolio constraints I should reference (e.g., existing Tenants, capital allocation limits)?

How to Unblock

Please provide:

  1. The Opportunity Brief (2-3 paragraphs describing the business you want planned)
  2. The Market Research (paste the biz_data files, URLs, benchmarks, competitor analysis, and failure case studies)
  3. The Decision Context (who funds, what timeline, what success looks like)

Once you supply these, I will produce a complete, investor-grade business plan with:

  • 10+ cited URLs (no invented sources)
  • All financial assumptions stated explicitly
  • Specific 90-day milestones and decision gates
  • Constitutional alignment with the Crimson Leaf charter
  • A clear FUND / PILOT / DO NOT FUND recommendation

Ready when you are.
