+# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT: ROLE MISMATCH
+
+---
+
+## Issue Identified
+
+The task designation requests **"Orion, Director of Research"** as the operative persona for affiliate opportunity intelligence work.
+
+**However:** Per the current organizational charter and RAG context:
+
+1. **No agent named "Orion" exists** in Crimson Leaf's active roster
+2. **No "Director of Research" role is defined** in the approved 8-agent governance structure
+3. **Affiliate intelligence work is not a chartered Crimson Leaf function**
+
+---
+
+## What This Means
+
+This request violates **Section 3 (Forbidden Activities)** of the Crimson Leaf Master Corporate Charter:
+
+> *"Commodity Execution: Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... conducting production research..."*
+
+**Affiliate site research and review writing are operational execution tasks**, not architectural/governance functions. They belong in a **dedicated Tenant's charter**, not in Crimson Leaf's core operations.
+
+---
+
+## Correct Path Forward
+
+If you wish to explore affiliate marketing opportunities:
+
+### Option A: Extend an Existing Tenant
+- Does an existing Tenant's charter permit affiliate review work?
+- If yes: route the request to that Tenant's CEO
+
+### Option B: Incubate a New Affiliate Review Tenant
+- I can help **architect** a new sovereign Tenant designed specifically for affiliate-driven content (product reviews, buyer's guides, comparison articles)
+- This would require:
+  - A formal **charter.md** defining the Tenant's market, scope, and forbidden activities
+  - A specialized **CEO agent profile** for the Tenant
+  - A **seed budget** and **value thesis**
+  - Constitutional adjudication before activation
+
+### Option C: Delegate to Deterministic Tools
+- If the scope is narrow and product data is static, a blog template + RSS feed might suffice without a Tenant
+
+---
+
+## What I Need From You
+
+**Which path do you intend?**
+
+1. Route to existing Tenant (which one?)
+2. Launch new Affiliate Review Tenant (I'll draft the architecture)
+3. Use deterministic tools (what niche/domain?)
+4. Something else?
+
+Please clarify, and I'll proceed accordingly within constitutional bounds.
