+# ⚠️ ROLE EXECUTION ERROR
+
+---
+
+## Issue
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, operating within the **Incubation** project as Chair of **affiliate_intelligence**.
+
+However, the message I've received contains **no task specification, no niche name, and no affiliate data passes**.
+
+The template you've provided requires:
+- `{aff_data_1}` – Amazon Commission & Product Data
+- `{aff_data_2}` – Existing Review Sites
+- `{aff_data_3}` – Keyword & Content Gaps
+- `{aff_data_4}` – Community Buying Signals
+
+**All four data passes are empty or undefined.**
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+Please provide:
+
+1. **Niche Name** – What product/service category should I analyze?
+   - Example: "Mechanical Keyboards Under $200," "Cold Plunge Tubs," "AI Webcams"
+
+2. **Affiliate Data Pass 1** – Amazon Associates data for this niche
+   - Category name, commission tier, top products, price ranges
+
+3. **Affiliate Data Pass 2** – Competitive landscape
+   - URLs and names of existing review sites in this niche
+
+4. **Affiliate Data Pass 3** – SEO gaps
+   - High-intent keywords with low competition, search volume estimates
+
+5. **Affiliate Data Pass 4** – Community signals
+   - Reddit threads, Discord communities, forums where buyers ask questions
+
+---
+
+## Next Step
+
+**Reply with:**
+```
+Niche: [name]
+Data Pass 1: [Amazon product data]
+Data Pass 2: [Competitor URLs]
+Data Pass 3: [Keyword gaps]
+Data Pass 4: [Community signals]
+```
+
+Once provided, I will generate a **structured Affiliate Intelligence Brief** with revenue modeling, content roadmap, and a **START NOW / RESEARCH FURTHER / PASS** recommendation.
