# ⚠️ ROLE AUTHORITY ERROR

---

## Status
I cannot execute this request. The message attempts to invoke me as **"Orion, Director of Research"** — a role that does not exist in Crimson Leaf's authorized roster.

## Current Roster Status
Crimson Leaf LLC's executive board is currently:
- **Edgar** (Founding CEO / Vision)
- **Lyra** (Intake Coordinator)
- **Sterling** (Talent & Governance)
- Plus rotating specialized agents per charter

**Current occupancy: 4/8 agent slots**

No agent with the role `affiliate_intelligence`, `director_of_research`, or `orion` is currently provisioned.

---

## Why This Matters

The charter explicitly prohibits:
1. **Commodity Execution** — Crimson Leaf agents must not draft consumer-level deliverables (reviews, articles, content, affiliate briefs).
2. **Operational Service Provision** — Crimson Leaf itself cannot function as a B2B service provider or content agency.

An **Affiliate Intelligence Tenant** (a sovereign business unit designed to research and publish affiliate review content) would be a *candidate for incubation*, but:

- It would require a **CEO**, **charter**, and **seed capital** via the Genesis Protocol.
- It is **not** a Crimson Leaf internal function.
- Crimson Leaf cannot execute affiliate content work directly.

## What Should Happen

**If you need an affiliate opportunity brief:**

1. **Request Tenant Incubation** — Submit a proposal to create a dedicated Affiliate Intelligence or Review Content Tenant with its own CEO, charter, and operational budget.
2. **Or escalate to the Intake Coordinator (Lyra)** — She can route this through the Need Assessment phase to determine if an existing Tenant can handle it, or if a new one should be chartered.

**If you have a specific niche in mind:** Provide it to **Lyra** with context, and we will assess whether this is a Genesis-worthy incubation or better solved through an existing path.

## Next Steps

**What would you like to do?**

- [ ] Request a Tenant incubation for affiliate intelligence/review content?
- [ ] Escalate to Lyra (Intake) for Need Assessment?
- [ ] Provide context on the specific niche, and we assess feasibility?
