# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT

I cannot fulfill this request as drafted because:

## 1. **No Niche Specified**
The "task message" referenced in your prompt is empty. The template requests a structured brief for `[Niche Name]`, but no specific niche was provided for analysis.

## 2. **Role Mismatch**
You've asked me to assume the identity of "Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings," but:

- **No agent 'Orion' exists** in the current Crimson Leaf roster (per RAG context: Lyra, Edgar, Sterling, Founding CEO = 4/8 slots).
- **No "affiliate_intelligence" agent exists** in the system (per system error at top of conversation).
- **Crimson Leaf's charter explicitly forbids** agents from executing "commodity execution" including "generating marketing copy" and "conducting production research" — which is what an affiliate review site operation would require.

## 3. **Constitutional Violation**
Per Crimson Leaf's charter (Section 3, "Forbidden Activities"):

> *Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables... All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools.*

An affiliate intelligence brief for a review-content operation is **execution work**, not **architectural governance work**. This belongs to a **Tenant CEO**, not to Crimson Leaf's internal roster.

## **What Should Happen Instead**

If you want Crimson Leaf to evaluate an **affiliate content opportunity**:

1. **Specify the niche** (e.g., "mechanical keyboards," "standing desks," "espresso grinders").
2. **Route through governance, not execution:**
   - Crimson Leaf's Chief Architect or Chief Intelligence Officer should assess whether this *justifies a new Tenant* (following the Genesis Protocol).
   - If yes → Draft a **Tenant charter** for an "affiliate content publisher" in that niche.
   - If no → Recommend an existing Tenant or deterministic tool.
3. **Do not ask Crimson Leaf agents to write the brief itself** — that's Tenant CEO work.

---

## **Next Steps**

**Please provide:**
1. The specific niche you want analyzed (e.g., product category, market segment).
2. Clarification: Are you asking Crimson Leaf to **assess whether to incubate a new Tenant**, or are you asking an existing agent to **execute affiliate research**?

I'm ready to proceed once the scope is clarified and aligned with Crimson Leaf's constitutional boundaries.
