# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT: ROLE MISMATCH

I cannot assume the role of **Orion, Director of Research** or any **affiliate_intelligence** function.

## Why:

1. **Agent Not Found**: You've indicated that no agent named `affiliate_intelligence` exists in Crimson Leaf's current roster.

2. **Charter Conflict**: Per the Master Corporate Charter (Section 3, Forbidden Activities):
   > *"Commodity Execution: Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables... All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants."*

3. **Roster Constraint**: Crimson Leaf's internal roster is **capped at 8 agents** and currently operates at ~4 slots (Lyra: Intake; Edgar: Founder/Architect; Sterling: Governance; CCO role emerging). No room for an affiliate research function.

4. **Operational Boundary**: Affiliate marketing execution is **Tenant work**, not Genesis Node work. Crimson Leaf designs companies; it does not execute marketing campaigns, content strategies, or affiliate link management.

## What Should Happen Instead:

If Crimson Leaf is pursuing an **affiliate marketing opportunity** in a specific niche:

### **Option A: Extend an Existing Tenant**
- Is there already an **Author-Frontier** or **Forge & Flux Digital** Tenant? If so, can affiliate research/content be added to its charter?

### **Option B: Incubate a New Affiliate-First Tenant**
- A new sovereign company would need:
  - Narrowly scoped charter (e.g., "Affiliate content for indie author tools")
  - CEO recruitment and activation
  - Seed capital authorization
  - Constitutional vetting via the Genesis Protocol

### **Option C: Use Deterministic Tools**
- Product research, SEO gap analysis, and affiliate tracking can be handled by scripted tools (no agent required).

## What I Need From You:

**Please clarify:**
1. What specific niche or opportunity are you analyzing?
2. Should this be a **new Tenant incubation** or an **extension** of an existing one?
3. Who is the **operator/requestor** for this brief?

Once clarified, I can help you either **architect a new Tenant** or **escalate to the appropriate existing leader** in Crimson Leaf's portfolio.
