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

## Problem Statement
Decision-makers within the Genesis ecosystem suffer from "signal noise" and reactive data retrieval. There is no central mechanism for proactive, synthesized intelligence that correlates multi-domain data into actionable strategic vectors.

## Target Customer
Crimson Leaf LLC (Strategic Board) and its subsidiary Tenant CEOs.

## Why New Company
Intelligence is a sovereign function. Embedding it in the holding company creates a resource bottleneck; embedding it in marketing creates bias. A separate Tenant ensures a black-box "Truth Engine" with its own P&L.

## Why Not Existing Tenant
No existing Tenant is chartered for "Deep Synthesis." Current Tenants are execution-focused (marketing, publishing, code).

## Why Not Tool
Tools find facts; Research identifies patterns. The latter requires persistent domain memory and specific qualitative weighting.

## Business Plan
Operate as an internal intelligence bureau providing two tiers of service: Flash Intelligence (rapid vetting of new niche opportunities) and Deep Synthesis (quarterly strategic landscape reports and competitor teardowns).

## Value Thesis
Reduces "Mean Time to Adjudication" for new Tenants and minimizes capital risk by identifying market saturation or technical moats before seed investment.

## Charter
Mission: To provide hyper-refined, proactive intelligence that minimizes uncertainty for the Genesis ecosystem. Operational Boundary: Strictly limited to the synthesis of raw data into intelligence reports. Standard Deliverable: The "Synthesis Memo" — A markdown document containing: Problem Context, Methodology, Core Insights, Confidence Score (0-100), and Sourced Evidence. Constraint: All research must be sourced. Unverifiable LLM hallucinations are grounds for immediate dormancy.

## Forbidden Activities
No creative writing; No marketing copy; No direct investment (advice only); No external client work (Phase 1); No operational deployment of strategies.

## Non-Goals
To become a news outlet; To replace the CEO’s final decision-making authority; To manage funds.

## Budget
25000

## Budget Justification
Covers 6 months of high-context LLM tokens (Reasoning models), API-integrated research subscriptions (Perplexity/Exa), and architecture for a persistent knowledge graph.
