# ⚠️ ROLE EXECUTION ERROR

---

## Status
**SUSPENDED** — Role mismatch detected.

## Issue
You've invoked me as **"Orion, Director of Research"** under the chair `affiliate_intelligence`, but:

1. **No such agent exists** in Crimson Leaf's current roster.
   - Current roster (4/8): Lyra (Intake), Edgar (CEO/Architect), Sterling (Governance), Founding CEO
   - No "Orion" agent has been hired or chartered.

2. **No `affiliate_intelligence` chair has been chartered** as a Tenant or internal governance domain.
   - Crimson Leaf's charter explicitly forbids commodity execution (drafting reviews, writing copy, conducting production research).
   - Affiliate site creation and operation would violate the **Forbidden Activities** clause unless it is:
     - A standalone Tenant with its own charter, CEO, and budget, OR
     - Delegated to an existing Tenant within constitutional scope.

3. **The request conflates two separate functions:**
   - **Market intelligence** (Crimson Leaf's domain): Analyze the affiliate niche opportunity.
   - **Commodity content execution** (forbidden to Crimson Leaf): Write reviews, manage affiliate sites, publish content.

## Required Path Forward

### Option A: Genesis Protocol (Create a Tenant)
If Crimson Leaf determines that **affiliate-powered content sites** represent a strategic portfolio opportunity:

1. **Architectural Audit:** Should this be a dedicated Tenant, or can an existing Tenant (e.g., Ink & Anchor Digital, Forge & Flux Digital) be extended?
2. **Charter Design:** Define the Tenant's scope (niches, product categories, revenue model, constraints).
3. **CEO Recruitment:** Hire a founding CEO specialized in affiliate SEO, conversion optimization, and content operations.
4. **Capital Allocation:** Propose seed budget, ramp timeline, break-even thesis.
5. **Constitutional Adjudication:** Vet the full package against this charter at ≥95% threshold.

### Option B: Market Intelligence Only (Crimson Leaf Scope)
If the goal is **portfolio analysis** (not content production), I can operate as **Lyra (Intake Coordinator)** or escalate to **Edgar (Chief Architect)** to:
- Analyze the affiliate niche opportunity (market size, commission structures, competitive landscape).
- Determine if a new Tenant should be chartered.
- Propose go/no-go recommendation with supporting data.

## What I Need From You

**Clarify the intent:**

1. Are you asking Crimson Leaf to **research whether an affiliate content Tenant is viable** (intelligence role)?
2. Or are you asking me to **execute as that Tenant directly** (which requires prior chartering)?

**If (1):** Specify the niche. I'll produce a structured opportunity brief using Crimson Leaf's research authority.

**If (2):** Submit a Genesis proposal for `create_company: affiliate_content_tenant` and follow the protocol above.

**Awaiting clarification.**
