# Genesis Package: Crimson Leaf Research
**Slug:** `crimson_leaf_research`

## Problem Statement
Decision-makers within Crimson Leaf and its Tenants suffer from 'Signal Noise'—an abundance of raw data but a deficit of synthesized, high-confidence strategic intelligence.

## Target Customer
Crimson Leaf LLC (Executive Board) and Portfolio CEOs.

## Why New Company
To maintain cognitive distance and isolate the risk of recursive logic by ensuring the 'observer' is not embedded within the 'executor.'

## Why Not Existing Tenant
Existing units (Marketing/Publishing) are transactional/production silos and lack the cross-domain synthesis mandate or sovereignty required for objective market validation.

## Why Not Tool
Deterministic tools provide retrieval but cannot perform ethical weighting, confidence scoring, or proactive synthesis of conflicting data points.

## Business Plan
Operates on a 'Request for Intelligence' (RFI) model, proactively monitoring external markets and reacting to internal briefs to provide 'State of the Sector' reports.

## Value Thesis
Reduction of capital wastage by providing a non-recursive 'Go/No-Go' signal for the Genesis Fund prior to chartering new Tenants.

## Charter
To serve as the central intelligence node for Crimson Leaf LLC, providing proactive and reactive synthesis of market, technological, and competitive signals.

## Forbidden Activities
Executing marketing campaigns; writing consumer-facing content; performing technical audits of Tenant codebases; direct interaction with external retail customers.

## Non-Goals
Becoming a public-facing think tank; developing proprietary search algorithms; managing capital allocations.

## Budget
2500

## Budget Justification
Allows for 3 months of deep-market scanning and synthesis prior to the first required internal delivery.
