+# ERROR: ROLE MISMATCH & MISSING CONTEXT
+
+---
+
+## Issue Summary
+
+I am **not** "Orion, Director of Research" at Crimson Leaf Holdings. That role does not exist in the current organizational structure.
+
+According to the RAG database, Crimson Leaf's operational roster is **4/8 agents**:
+1. **Lyra** – Intake Coordinator
+2. **Edgar** – Founding CEO / Architect
+3. **Sterling** – Director of Talent & Governance
+4. **Founding CEO** – Genesis Fund guardian
+
+---
+
+## Missing Critical Context
+
+The template you've provided requires **four data passes** that have not been populated:
+
+- `{aff_data_1}` – Amazon Commission & Product Data ❌ MISSING
+- `{aff_data_2}` – Existing Review Sites ❌ MISSING
+- `{aff_data_3}` – Keyword & Content Gaps ❌ MISSING
+- `{aff_data_4}` – Community Buying Signals ❌ MISSING
+
+Without these inputs, I **cannot** produce a valid affiliate intelligence brief.
+
+---
+
+## Clarification Needed
+
+**Before proceeding, please provide:**
+
+1. **Your identity**: Who are you? (Are you requesting this as an operator, or should I route this to a specific Crimson Leaf agent?)
+
+2. **The niche**: What specific affiliate niche or product category requires analysis?
+
+3. **The data**: Have you conducted the four research passes above? If so, please paste the results into `{aff_data_1}` through `{aff_data_4}`.
+
+4. **Governance**: Is this request aligned with Crimson Leaf's charter? (Affiliate intelligence analysis is **forbidden** as a commodity execution by Crimson Leaf agents. This work should either be:
+   - **Delegated to a specialized Tenant** (e.g., a future Affiliate Marketing Tenant), or
+   - **Requested through proper intake channels** via Lyra.)
+

+
+**Please resubmit with complete context, or clarify your request.**
