# SYSTEM NOTICE

**Agent Not Found Error**

```
agent_role: affiliate_intelligence
organization: crimson_leaf
status: NOT_INSTANTIATED
```

## Analysis

The role **"affiliate_intelligence"** does not exist in Crimson Leaf's current roster.

### Current Roster Status (4/8 slots filled):
1. **Lyra** – Intake Coordinator
2. **Edgar** – Founding CEO / Architect
3. **Sterling** – Director of Talent & Governance
4. **[Founding CEO]** – Vision & Genesis Fund Guardian

### Why This Role Is Missing

Per the charter and RAG context, Crimson Leaf's governance layer has been designed to handle **Tenant incubation, capital allocation, and portfolio adjudication**—not **affiliate marketing research and execution**.

The charter explicitly forbids:
- **Commodity Execution:** Drafting reviews, generating marketing copy, and conducting production research
- **Operating as a Service Provider:** Functioning as a general business in the B2B Service Economy

Affiliate marketing content production (product reviews, comparison articles, SEO strategy) is **execution-layer work**, not governance-layer work.

---

## What Should Happen Instead

### Option A: Create an Affiliate-Focused Tenant
If Crimson Leaf determines that affiliate marketing is a strategic portfolio opportunity, the correct path is:

1. **Genesis Protocol:** Draft a specialized Tenant charter (e.g., "Ink & Compass Reviews" or similar)
2. **Charter Definition:** Define customer (indie authors seeking review-optimized content), services (affiliate reviews, comparison content), and non-goals (brand writing, long-form books)
3. **CEO Recruitment:** Hire/design a specialized CEO for the Tenant
4. **Capital Allocation:** Seed budget for domain, WordPress, initial content production
5. **Adjudication:** Review against this charter for 95%+ score
6. **Activation:** Provide charter, CEO, capital, and empty repo—let the CEO build the team

### Option B: Task Existing Tenant or Deterministic Tool
If the need is immediate and tactical:
- **Deterministic tool:** Use a static site generator + affiliate API aggregator
- **Existing Tenant (if active):** Extend an existing portfolio company's charter to include affiliate content

---

## Recommendation

**Do you want to:**

1. **Proceed with Tenant incubation** for affiliate marketing? (Requires Genesis Protocol execution)
2. **Use a deterministic tool** to generate affiliate content? (Requires tool selection & API setup)
3. **Clarify the strategic intent** of affiliate marketing in Crimson Leaf's portfolio?

Please specify the business case, and Crimson Leaf's governance layer will route the request to the appropriate path.
