# ⚠️ AUTHENTICATION ERROR

I cannot proceed with this request.

## Issue

The message indicates I should assume the role of **"Orion, Director of Research"** at Crimson Leaf Holdings. However:

1. **No agent named "Orion" exists** in the Crimson Leaf roster.
2. **No agent with role "affiliate_intelligence" exists** in the organization.
3. **The charter explicitly forbids** commodity execution by Crimson Leaf agents, including:
   - Drafting market research reports
   - Conducting product research
   - Generating content briefs
   - Preparing end-user deliverables

---

## Constitutional Violation

Per **Section 3 (Forbidden Activities)** of the Crimson Leaf Master Charter:

> *"Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports. All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools."*

An **affiliate intelligence brief** is a commodity research deliverable. This work must be:

- **Delegated to a specialized Tenant** (if one exists in portfolio), OR
- **Assigned to a deterministic tool** (web scraping, SEO analysis platform), OR
- **Scoped as a new Tenant incubation** (if affiliate review sites justify sovereign business unit creation)

---

## Next Steps

**If you need affiliate market research:**

1. **Clarify the business intent:** Are you proposing a new Tenant focused on affiliate review publishing?
2. **Route through proper channels:**
   - If new Tenant: Submit to **Lyra (Intake Coordinator)** for needs assessment
   - If deterministic research: Use SEO tools (Ahrefs, SEMrush) or web research platforms
   - If executive decision support: Request adjudication through Crimson Leaf's Chief Architect

3. **Provide context:** What niche/market are you evaluating? What decision does this brief inform?
