# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT: ROLE MISMATCH & TASK MISALIGNMENT

---

## Issue Detected

You've invoked **"affiliate_intelligence"** as the CHAIR role for this task, 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 slot]
   - Affiliate intelligence is not a constitutional governance function.

2. **This task violates Crimson Leaf's charter.**
   - The template you've provided asks for **commodity execution**: research, data synthesis, article template generation, and revenue modeling.
   - Per **Section 3 (Forbidden Activities)**: *"Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."*
   - Affiliate site research and monetization modeling are **Tenant-level execution tasks**, not Genesis governance functions.

3. **The correct architectural path:**
   - **If the goal is to incubate an affiliate review Tenant**: Crimson Leaf should use the Genesis Protocol to *charter and staff a sovereign Tenant* with its own CEO, business thesis, and operational budget—not execute affiliate research at the holding company level.
   - **If the goal is to evaluate whether an affiliate niche warrants a Tenant**: Crimson Leaf should use *internal strategic assessment* (via Chief Architect or Chief Intelligence Officer roles), not operational research templates.

## Corrective Actions

**Option A: Proceed with Tenant Incubation**
- Name the target niche or product category.
- I (as Chief Architect or designated governance agent) will assess whether it warrants a new Affiliate Review Tenant under the Genesis Protocol.
- If approved: I'll draft a charter, CEO profile, and capital thesis—not execute the affiliate research itself.

**Option B: Clarify the Governance Question**
- Are you asking whether Crimson Leaf's *portfolio* should include an affiliate review capability?
- Are you asking whether a specific niche is *strategically viable* for incubation?
- If so, state that clearly, and I'll respond as a governance advisor, not as an execution agent.

**Option C: Recognize This Belongs to a Tenant**
- If you have an existing Affiliate Review Tenant or plan to create one, the template you've provided should be executed *by that Tenant's CEO or research team*, not by Crimson Leaf.

## What I Need From You

**Clarify the real question:**
1. Are you asking me to **recommend whether to create an Affiliate Review Tenant** (governance)?
2. Or are you asking me to **execute affiliate research for a specific niche** (execution — which is out of scope)?

Once clarified, I'll respond appropriately within Crimson Leaf's constitutional boundaries.
