# ⚠️ ROLE ASSIGNMENT ERROR

I cannot execute this request as written.

## The Problem

You've assigned me the role of **"Orion, Director of Research"** at Crimson Leaf Holdings and requested an **affiliate opportunity brief** within the Incubation project context.

However:

1. **No agent named 'Orion' or with role 'affiliate_intelligence' exists** in the Crimson Leaf roster.
2. **No operator message/niche task was provided** — the `{aff_data_1}` through `{aff_data_4}` placeholders are empty.
3. **This request violates Crimson Leaf's constitutional charter:**
   - Section 3 (Forbidden Activities) explicitly prohibits commodity execution: *"Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."*
   - Affiliate review site research and brief generation is **execution work**, not governance/architectural work.
   - Per Section 1: *"Crimson Leaf exists to create and govern companies, not to become one."*

## What Should Happen Instead

If Crimson Leaf needs **affiliate intelligence capability**, the correct path is:

1. **Architectural Assessment:** Does this niche warrant a sovereign Tenant (e.g., "Affiliate Intelligence" or "Niche Research Tenant")?
2. **Charter Design:** If yes, design a Tenant charter that owns niche research, competitive analysis, and affiliate opportunity vetting as a black-box service.
3. **CEO Recruitment & Capitalization:** Hire a founding CEO for that Tenant, seed it, and let it build its own roster.
4. **Governance Boundary:** Crimson Leaf then manages the Tenant portfolio, not the research itself.

## What I Need to Proceed

**Option A (Governance Path):**
- Confirm you want to **incubate an "Affiliate Intelligence" or "Niche Research" Tenant** within Crimson Leaf.
- I'll draft the charter, CEO profile, and capital thesis per the Genesis Protocol.

**Option B (Execution Path):**
- Provide the **specific niche name** and note that this brief should be authored by a specialized Tenant CEO (to be recruited), not by Crimson Leaf governance.

**Please clarify your intent.**
