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

## Problem Statement
Crimson Leaf executives and Tenant CEOs currently rely on fragmented, reactive data pulls which lack the longitudinal depth and synthesized confidence levels required for multi-million credit capital decisions.

## Target Customer
Crimson Leaf LLC (Board of Directors), and Tier-1 Tenant CEOs.

## Why New Company
Intelligence must be an independent 'black box' to ensure objectivity. If embedded in the holding company, it risks becoming a confirmation-bias tool for the CEO.

## Why Not Existing Tenant
No existing tenant is chartered for macroeconomic or deep-vertical architectural research; existing marketing tenants are restricted to brand/audience sentiment.

## Why Not Tool
Requires qualitative 'Red Teaming' and confidence-interval weighting which raw deterministic scrapers and LLM summarizers cannot provide.

## Business Plan
CLR will operate on a 'Subscription + Special Brief' model. It will maintain a 'Living Map' of the AI Agentic Economy while fulfilling specific research 'Bounties' from portfolio companies.

## Value Thesis
Reducing the 'Time-to-Certainty' for new incubations and preventing capital loss from poorly vetted market entries.

## Charter
Source, synthesize, and supply strategic intelligence. Authorized Domains: Market mapping, competitor teardowns, technical feasibility studies, and macroeconomic trend forecasting. Deliverable: The 'Intelligence Brief' (Standardized Markdown with Source-Backing). Must provide confidence scores for all claims.

## Forbidden Activities
Providing legal, financial, or medical advice; conducting marketing or PR execution; manipulating data to favor specific internal projects; industrial espionage or unethical data harvesting.

## Non-Goals
Developing own software tools; managing implementation of research findings.

## Budget
50000

## Budget Justification
Covers initial CEO activation, high-token-volume context windowing for massive document synthesis, and access to premium external data APIs.
