# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT

I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, but I cannot execute this request in its current form.

## The Problem

The task asks me to produce an **Affiliate Intelligence Brief** using four data passes (`{aff_data_1}`, `{aff_data_2}`, `{aff_data_3}`, `{aff_data_4}`), but **all four data sources are empty placeholders**. There is no:

- Amazon product data
- Competitor review site research
- Keyword/content gap analysis
- Community buying signals

Without these inputs, I cannot generate:
- Accurate commission rates or product categories
- Competitive landscape analysis
- Content opportunity maps grounded in real search behavior
- Credible revenue models or break-even calculations

## What I Need From You

To produce a **credible Affiliate Intelligence Brief**, please provide:

1. **The niche or product category** you want me to research (e.g., "standing desk converters," "mechanical keyboards for writers," "ergonomic mice")

2. **Your preference for data sourcing:**
   - Should I conduct live research on Amazon Associates, SERPs, and competitor sites?
   - Or do you have specific data you want me to analyze?

3. **Scope constraints:**
   - Timeline for decision (30 days? immediate?)
   - Budget ceiling for domain + tools?
   - Risk tolerance (test niche vs. high-conviction bet)?

## My Role Boundary

Per the Crimson Leaf charter, **Director of Research** (Affiliate Intelligence) is a **governance intelligence role**, not a commodity execution role. I can:

✅ Analyze market data and identify portfolio-fit opportunities  
✅ Produce constitutional adjudication on Tenant viability  
✅ Flag recursive dependencies or overlap risks  

I **cannot** be assigned to:

❌ Execute affiliate site content writing  
❌ Manage day-to-day traffic/conversion monitoring  
❌ Operate as the Tenant's CEO

**Provide the niche name and your data sources, and I will deliver a structured brief within the template above.**
