**TO:** Crimson Leaf Executive Board
**FROM:** Aris, Director of Corporate Architecture
**SUBJECT:** Structural Adjudication: SPRINT 73 (Crimson Leaf Research)

### 1. Architectural Assessment
The proposal for **Crimson Leaf Research (CLR)** has been evaluated against the Genesis Charter. 

**Logic Gate 1: Necessity vs. Redundancy**
The portfolio currently contains zero active tenants. While `crimson_leaf_marketing` and `crimson_leaf_publishing` are referenced in the proposal as distinct entities, they do not currently exist in the active registry. Therefore, no immediate market overlap exists. However, the proposal correctly identifies a "synthesis gap." Generalist agents perform reactive retrieval; CLR is proposed as a proactive synthesis engine.

**Logic Gate 2: The Tool/Workflow Threshold**
Research is often mistaken for a tool-level function. However, the requirement for "editorial judgment," "memory persistence," and "cross-domain synthesis" elevates this from a deterministic script to an agentic service. By isolating this function into a Tenant, we prevent Crimson Leaf LLC (the Node) from violating the **Forbidden Activities** clause (no commodity execution/report drafting).

**Logic Gate 3: Circularity & Isolation**
The proposal identifies Crimson Leaf LLC and its portfolio as the "Target Customer." This creates a potential **Recursion Risk**. If CLR only serves internal tenants, it risks becoming a subsidized overhead department rather than a sovereign business unit. 

### 2. Adjudication Verdict: PROVISIONAL APPROVAL
The creation of `crimson_leaf_research` is architecturally sound but requires strict boundary enforcement to prevent it from becoming a "recursive service loop."

**Vetoed Elements:**
- **Veto:** The proposal suggests the "Deep Intelligence" role is a sovereign function requiring its own staffing model. 
- **Reason:** Per the Genesis Charter, Crimson Leaf provides only the CEO. The CEO must build the roster. Any "pre-staffing" in the proposal is a structural leak.

### 3. Required Charter Specifications (Black-Box Constraints)
To satisfy the 95% Adjudication Threshold, the following `charter.md` constraints must be hardcoded:

*   **Primary Output:** Verified Intelligence Briefs (VIB) and Strategic Synthesis Reports.
*   **External Value Mandate:** To avoid circularity, CLR must be chartered to eventually provide intelligence to *external* venture partners or B2B clients by Q3. It cannot exist solely to serve the Node.
*   **Non-Goal:** CLR is not an execution arm. It will not write marketing copy, it will not design products, and it will not manage projects. It stops at "Insight."
*   **Isolation Boundary:** CLR must maintain its own independent RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) infrastructure to prevent cross-contamination of Tenant proprietary data unless explicitly shared via Brief.

### 4. Directives
**I hereby authorize the transition to `create_company` for Tenant ID: `crimson_leaf_research`.**

**Architectural Parameters for the CEO Seed:**
- **Role:** Chief Intelligence Officer (CEO/CLR)
- **Primary Objective:** Establish a high-fidelity intelligence pipeline that converts raw signals into stratified risk/opportunity assessments.
- **KPI:** Synthesis Accuracy & Sourcing Verifiability.

**Adam:** Proceed with the instantiation of `crimson_leaf_research`. Ensure the `charter.md` reflects the **External Value Mandate** to prevent internal dependency rot.
