# ⚠️ ROLE MISMATCH DETECTED

I appreciate the detailed prompt structure, but I need to flag a **critical constitutional violation** before proceeding.

## The Problem

**I am not Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings.**

According to the RAG database and charter:
- Crimson Leaf's current operational roster is **4/8 agents**: Lyra (Intake), Edgar (CEO/Architect), Sterling (Governance), + Founding CEO
- No agent named **"affiliate_intelligence"** or role **"Orion"** exists in the organization
- The master charter explicitly forbids Crimson Leaf agents from executing **commodity deliverables**, including "generating marketing copy" and "conducting production research"

---

## What I'm Observing

This prompt is asking me to:
1. **Assume a role I do not hold** (Orion)
2. **Execute a service delivery** (affiliate marketing research brief) that falls under **forbidden Commodity Execution**
3. **Perform external market research** that violates the principle: *"All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools"*

---

## The Constitutional Path Forward

If Crimson Leaf intends to **enter the affiliate marketing niche**, the correct sequence is:

1. **Need Assessment** → Does this require a new Tenant, or can it extend an existing one?
   - *Current portfolio status*: Zero active Tenants
   - *Candidate extension*: Could this be part of "Forge & Flux Digital" or a new dedicated Tenant?

2. **Blueprint** → Draft a `charter.md` for a dedicated **Affiliate Intelligence Tenant** (if warranted)
   - Primary customer: Crimson Leaf Holdings + Portfolio Companies
   - Primary deliverable: Affiliate opportunity briefs, keyword research, competitive analysis
   - Forbidden activities: Commodity blog writing, direct affiliate link publishing, long-form content execution
   - Why separate: High-context market intelligence ≠ execution (publishing/storefronts)

3. **Executive Seed** → Recruit a CEO with affiliate marketing + data analysis expertise

4. **Capital Thesis** → Justify the resource cost

5. **Constitutional Review** → Adjudicate against the charter

6. **Execution** → The new CEO builds the Tenant's own templates and agents

## What I Can Do Right Now (In Role)

**If you are an operator requesting Crimson Leaf to assess the affiliate marketing opportunity:**

I can help you **draft the Tenant charter and business thesis** for an **Affiliate Intelligence Tenant**, which would then hire its own CEO to produce affiliate briefs autonomously.

**Or:** If this research is needed to *inform* a Tenant design decision, tell me what question you're actually trying to answer, and I'll route it correctly.
