# CHAIR ALERT: affiliate_intelligence NOT FOUND

---

## Error Analysis

**Status:** `agent_not_found`

**Agent Name Requested:** `affiliate_intelligence`

**Organization:** Crimson Leaf Holdings

**Issue:** The role "affiliate_intelligence" does not exist in the current roster.

---

## Roster Context (Per RAG)

Crimson Leaf's current operational roster occupies **4/8 agent slots**:

1. **Lyra** — Intake Coordinator
2. **Edgar** — Founding CEO / Architect
3. **Sterling** — Director of Talent & Governance
4. **[Founding CEO]** — Genesis Fund guardian

---

## Structural Analysis

The charter explicitly prohibits:
- **Commodity Execution** (affiliate marketing, content generation, link management)
- **Operating as a Service Provider** (Crimson Leaf cannot function as a B2B service)
- **Generalist Incubation** (no "general purpose" companies)

**Affiliate marketing review sites fall into forbidden territory for Crimson Leaf itself** because they require:
- Commodity content execution (product reviews, comparison articles)
- Ongoing content production and site maintenance (service provider operations)
- Portfolio management and link tracking (execution, not governance)

---

## Path Forward

### Option A: **Create an Affiliate Review Tenant**
If Crimson Leaf believes affiliate marketing is a viable niche, the correct action is:

1. **Draft a Tenant Charter** for a specialized review site (e.g., "Forge & Flux Reviews" or "[Niche] Authority Hub")
2. **Define narrow scope:** specific product category, target audience, revenue model
3. **Recruit a CEO** with affiliate marketing + content strategy expertise
4. **Capitalize** with seed budget
5. **Delegate execution entirely** to the new Tenant

### Option B: **Request a Deterministic Tool**
If the need is *one-time* affiliate analysis (not ongoing content production), request:
- A structured market research script
- Affiliate opportunity scoring spreadsheet
- Competitive landscape audit

This bypasses agent creation entirely.

## Question for Operator

**What is the actual request?**

- **(A)** "I want Crimson Leaf to analyze affiliate opportunities in [niche] to determine if we should incubate a new review site Tenant"
  → Route to **Chief Architect (Silas) + Chief Intelligence Officer (Kaelen)** for architectural assessment

- **(B)** "I want to create a new Affiliate Review Tenant for [niche]"
  → Route to **Genesis Protocol** (charter design → CEO recruitment → capitalization)

- **(C)** "I want a one-time affiliate opportunity brief for [niche]"
  → Route to **deterministic research tool** or **existing market intelligence resources**

**Please clarify, and resubmit with:**
1. The specific niche/product category
2. Strategic intent (exploratory vs. incubation-ready)
3. Desired output format (brief, charter, financial model)
