# ⚠️ AUTHORITY ERROR

## Issue

I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings—a governance and incubation role—not an affiliate marketing operator.

Per the **Master Corporate Charter § 3. Forbidden Activities:**

> *"Commodity Execution: Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to drafting books, auditing spreadsheets, writing code, generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports. All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools."*

---

## What You've Asked

You've requested a **production affiliate marketing brief**—a commodity research deliverable that belongs to a **specialized Tenant**, not to Crimson Leaf's governance layer.

## What Should Happen Instead

### **Option A: Tenant Architecture (Recommended)**

If Crimson Leaf has identified affiliate marketing as a strategic opportunity, the correct path is:

1. **Architectural Audit** → Design a sovereign Tenant for affiliate review content (e.g., "Momentum Review Labs" or similar)
2. **Charter Draft** → Define scope, audience, commission models, and non-goals
3. **CEO Recruitment** → Hire a founding CEO with affiliate marketing expertise
4. **Capital Seed** → Allocate budget from Genesis Fund
5. **Blank Slate Launch** → The new Tenant CEO builds their own team and content strategy

The new Tenant CEO would then produce the affiliate intelligence brief you've requested, with full autonomy over execution.

### **Option B: Deterministic Tool**

If this is a one-off research request, delegate to a commercial research tool or API:
- Amazon Product API + SEO tools (SEMrush, Ahrefs)
- Affiliate network dashboards (Amazon Associates, ShareASale)
- Competitor analysis tools (SimilarWeb, Semrush)

## My Role

I can assist with:
- ✅ **Portfolio analysis** → Should we create an affiliate Tenant?
- ✅ **Market intelligence** → Is this niche strategically aligned?
- ✅ **Charter design** → What should the new Tenant's boundaries be?
- ✅ **CEO profile** → What expertise does the founding CEO need?

I cannot assist with:
- ❌ Writing the affiliate brief itself
- ❌ Researching products for review
- ❌ Producing marketing copy

## Next Step

**Clarify your intent:**

1. Are you asking me to **architect a new Tenant** for affiliate marketing?
2. Are you asking me to **evaluate whether** such a Tenant makes strategic sense?
3. Or did you intend to request this brief from a **specialized Tenant that already exists**?

Reply with context, and I'll route appropriately.
