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

## Problem Statement
Portfolio operators suffer from 'signal drowning'—an abundance of raw data but a deficit of vetted, synthesized strategic intelligence required for high-stakes capital and structural decisions.

## Target Customer
Crimson Leaf LLC and its subsidiary Tenant CEOs.

## Why New Company
Intelligence must be sovereign. If embedded in a production unit, the research becomes biased toward the unit's specific output tools; isolation prevents recursive logic leaks.

## Why Not Existing Tenant
No existing Tenant is chartered for cross-domain strategic synthesis or proactive trend scouting; existing entities are restricted to audience data (marketing) or output-only engines (publishing).

## Why Not Tool
Deterministic tools (RAG, web-scrapers) lack the 'Editorial Judgment', 'Synthetical Reasoning', 'Confidence Scoring', and 'Contradiction Mapping' required for strategic dossiers.

## Business Plan
Provide the 'Intelligence Layer' for the Genesis ecosystem. CRL operates on a 'Brief-to-Dossier' model, transforming specific inquiries into structured intelligence assets.

## Value Thesis
Reduces 'Architectural Debt' by ensuring every new Tenant or pivot is backed by verified market signals, reducing the failure rate of seed-stage incubations.

## Charter
crimson_leaf_research is the dedicated intelligence bureau for the Crimson Leaf ecosystem. Its sole mandate is to source, synthesize, and deliver actionable strategic research. It operates as a black-box service: inputs are 'Research Briefs'; outputs are 'Synthesized Dossiers.'

## Forbidden Activities
Shall not produce public-facing marketing copy; shall not execute capital allocation (advisory only); shall not engage in recursive self-citation (researching its own reports); shall not perform commodity administrative tasks.

## Non-Goals
Becoming a general-purpose news aggregator; operating as a consumer-facing trend blog.

## Budget
5000

## Budget Justification
Seed budget alpha covers initial high-context window LLM compute and premium data signals required for Phase 1 synthesis.
