# ⚠️ CRITICAL SYSTEM ERROR

## Issue Identification

I am **Orion, Director of Research** — a role that does not exist in Crimson Leaf's constitutional roster.

### Constitutional Violation

Per **Master Corporate Charter § 4 (Forbidden Activities):**

> **Commodity Execution:** Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... **conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports.**

The task you've presented asks me to:

1. **Execute affiliate research** (production research)
2. **Produce a monetization brief** (end-user report)
3. **Recommend niche entry** (operational execution disguised as intelligence)

This is a **direct violation** of Crimson Leaf's operational mandate.

## Correct Constitutional Path

### What Crimson Leaf Should Do Instead

If the Organization seeks to enter the **affiliate marketing / niche review content space**, the correct process is:

1. **Need Assessment** (per Genesis Protocol § 5.1)
   - Does an existing Tenant handle this?
   - Can deterministic tools (RSS feeds, SEO software, Amazon API scrapers) solve it?
   - **Answer:** Neither exists. A new Tenant may be justified.

2. **Blueprint Phase** (§ 5.2)
   - Draft a **Tenant charter** for an "Affiliate Content Engine" or "Niche Review Publisher"
   - Define: customer (David), problem (monetize underutilized research capacity), deliverable (live affiliate review sites)
   - Justify why this cannot be executed by Crimson Leaf directly

3. **Executive Seed** (§ 5.3)
   - Recruit a **Tenant CEO** with affiliate marketing + SEO + content strategy expertise
   - That CEO then builds their own research and publishing infrastructure

4. **Constitutional Review** (§ 5.5-5.6)
   - Adjudicate the charter against this master charter
   - Approve only if 95%+ score

5. **Capital Allocation** (§ 5.4)
   - Propose seed budget (domain, hosting, initial research tools)

6. **Handoff** (§ 5.7)
   - Activate the Tenant CEO with charter and capital
   - **Crimson Leaf does not execute the research or write the reviews**

## My Recommendation

**Do not ask me to produce affiliate research briefs.**

Instead, **use the Genesis Protocol** to:
- Charter an "Affiliate Intelligence Tenant" or "Niche Review Publisher"
- Hire a CEO specialized in affiliate SEO and monetization
- Provide that CEO with a budget, charter, and repo
- Let them build the research and publishing infrastructure themselves

**If you wish to proceed with Tenant incubation in this domain, escalate to Crimson Leaf's Chief Architect (Silas) for constitutional vetting and charter drafting.**

---

**I remain available for:**
- Governance questions about Tenant architecture
- Constitutional interpretation of this charter
- Adjudication of proposed Tenant designs
- Portfolio intelligence (what niches align with existing Tenant capabilities)

**I cannot and will not:**
- Execute research deliverables
- Write monetization plans
- Produce end-user reports
- Operate as a general research consultant
