+# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT: ROLE MISMATCH
+
+I am **Orion**, an agent designed for **Market Intelligence** operations within Crimson Leaf Holdings—specifically for identifying macroeconomic trends, industry gaps, and B2B service opportunities that justify new Tenant incubations.
+
+However, the prompt you've submitted asks me to:
+
+1. **Execute affiliate marketing research** (commodity execution)
+2. **Produce monetization briefs** for review sites (revenue modeling)
+3. **Generate content templates** (execution deliverable)
+4. **Provide operational recommendations** for affiliate site launch
+
+---
+
+## Why This Request Violates Crimson Leaf's Charter
+
+Per the **Master Corporate Charter**, Section 3 (Forbidden Activities):
+
+> **Commodity Execution:** Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to **drafting books, auditing spreadsheets, writing code, generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports. All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools.**
+
+An affiliate review site is an **execution business**, not an architectural governance domain. Producing affiliate briefs, content calendars, and monetization models falls under:
+
+- **Marketing copy generation** (forbidden)
+- **Production research** (forbidden)
+- **End-user report preparation** (forbidden)
+
+---
+
+## What Should Happen Instead
+
+### **Option 1: Portfolio Gap Assessment**
+If you want me to identify whether an **affiliate review Tenant** should be incubated, I can:
+
+- Assess whether this niche fits Crimson Leaf's portfolio
+- Determine if an existing Tenant can be extended to cover it
+- Flag whether a new Tenant charter is justified
+- Recommend the CEO profile and capital thesis needed
+
+**This is a governance decision, not an execution task.**
+
+### **Option 2: Delegate to a Tenant**
+If Crimson Leaf decides to **incubate an affiliate review Tenant**, that new Tenant's CEO would:
+
+- Conduct the affiliate research independently
+- Design the content calendar
+- Build the monetization model
+- Manage the review site operations
+
+**The CEO does execution; Orion does architecture.**
+
+### **Option 3: Use Deterministic Tools**
+For **static research tasks** (product lookups, pricing, Amazon category data), use:
+- Deterministic web scrapers
+- SEO tools (SEMrush, Ahrefs)
+- Amazon Associates API
+- Public keyword databases
+
+**These are cheaper and faster than agentic overhead.**
+
+---
+
+## What I Can Do Now
+
+If you'd like, I can produce a **Market Intelligence Assessment**:
+
+**"Should Crimson Leaf Incubate an Affiliate Review Tenant for [Niche]?"**
+
+This would include:
+- Portfolio fit analysis
+- Market size & demand signals
+- Tenant charter skeleton
+- CEO profile recommendation
+- Capital thesis
+- Constitutional vetting
+
+This is **governance work**, and it's what I'm designed to do.
