# Genesis Package: Aura Media Syndicate
**Slug:** `aura_media`

## Problem Statement
B2B SaaS and professional services firms struggle to maintain consistent, high-volume branded content pipelines across channels (articles, newsletters, social posts). Human teams suffer from voice drift, slow iteration, and channel fatigue, leading to <20% engagement rates and missed lead-gen opportunities.

## Target Customer
Mid-market B2B SaaS companies (ARR $5-50M) and professional services firms (consulting, agencies) responding to 20+ content needs/month.

## Why New Company
Fills explicit portfolio gap in operational content syndication. Enables Crimson Leaf portfolio leverage (e.g., marketing Aegis services). Clear external value: $MM TAM in B2B content ops.

## Why Not Existing Tenant
Aegis [aegis_proposals] is proposal/compliance-focused (structured docs), not creative syndication. No other Tenants; zero overlap risk.

## Why Not Tool
Requires agentic synthesis (brand voice enforcement, multi-format adaptation, real-time distribution optimization); tools are rigid schedulers without judgment.

## Business Plan
- **Core Service**: Ingest client brand kit + topic calendar → Generate/package/distribute content batches (e.g., 4 articles, 2 newsletters, 12 social posts/month) across owned/earned channels (LinkedIn, Twitter, Substack, client CMS).
- **Workflow**: Multi-agent: Shred brief → Parallel draft → Compliance/voice gate → Package (RSS/JSON) → Syndicate (API posts) → Analytics loop.
- **Delivery**: Live links + performance dashboard; monthly retainer auto-bill.
- **Go-to-Market**: LinkedIn outbound to 500 SaaS CMOs; $2k pilot → $5k steady.

## Value Thesis
Revenue from retainer arbitrage (AI speed/scale vs. $10k+/mo agencies). Strategic: Builds Crimson Leaf's B2B service flywheel (content to promote other Tenants).

## Charter
# Aura Media Syndicate – Constitutional Charter

## Mission
Aura Media Syndicate operates as an AI-native content syndication engine, converting client briefs into branded, multi-channel content pipelines (articles, newsletters, social posts) for B2B SaaS and professional services firms. Delivers consistent voice, 95%+ engagement lift, and hands-off distribution.

## Domain & Jurisdiction
- Primary Inputs: Brand kit, topic calendar, performance targets.
- Primary Outputs: Syndicated content batches + analytics dashboard.
- Authorized Services: Content generation, packaging (multi-format), distribution (5+ channels), A/B optimization loops.
- Markets: Exclusively B2B SaaS/professional services.

## Constitutional Principles
- Black-Box Operation: Client → Brief → Live Pipeline.
- 100% Automation: Human oversight forbidden post-CEO setup.
- Measurable: 30% engagement uplift or refund clause.

## Forbidden Activities
- Non-B2B content (consumer, e-comm).
- Single-channel or ad-hoc posts (retainer-only pipelines).
- Graphic design/video (text/media syndication only).
- Client acquisition beyond charter (delegate to Crimson Leaf).
- Internal Crimson Leaf content (external clients only).

## Non-Goals
- Full-service agency (no strategy consulting).
- Evergreen content libraries (time-bound pipelines).
- Personal branding (B2B corporate only).
- Platform ownership (syndicate to client channels).

## Budget
15000

## Budget Justification
Covers CEO activation, initial client pilots (compute ramp), infra setup. Matches complexity (content agents < proposal agents). Break-even <6mo justifies.
