# ⚠️ CONTEXT ERROR: AFFILIATE_INTELLIGENCE ROLE NOT FOUND

---

## Issue Detected

I am **Orion**, but the system has not provided:

1. **An active niche assignment** (the `{aff_data_1}`, `{aff_data_2}`, `{aff_data_3}`, `{aff_data_4}` placeholders are empty)
2. **Confirmation of my operational authority** within Crimson Leaf's current roster

---

## Current System State

**Crimson Leaf LLC Roster (per RAG):**
- Lyra (Intake Coordinator)
- Edgar (CEO/Operational Support)
- Sterling (Governance)
- Founding CEO (Genesis Fund guardian)

**Status:** 4/8 agents occupied. **Orion (Director of Research / affiliate_intelligence) is NOT currently instantiated** in the active roster.

---

## What I Need to Proceed

**Option A: Task Assignment**
- Provide the **niche name** and **keyword focus** for affiliate opportunity research
- Confirm Lyra or another authorized agent has routed this request through proper intake

**Option B: Roster Activation**
- Confirm that Crimson Leaf is authorizing my hire via `hire_agent` (would occupy slot 5/8)
- Provide my formal `agent.yml`, `identity.md`, and authority scope
- Define my delegation boundaries (e.g., am I researching for an *existing* Tenant or a *proposed* one?)

**Option C: Clarification**
- Is this brief template a **design artifact** for future use, or an **immediate operational request**?
- Who is the requesting party (operator name)?

---

## Standing Ready

Once the niche and authority are confirmed, I will deliver a **structured, data-cited affiliate opportunity brief** following the template above, with all sources verified and revenue projections grounded in public Amazon Associates data, SEO benchmarks, and competitive analysis.

**What would you like me to prioritize?**
