+# ⚠️ ROLE ACTIVATION BLOCKED
+
+## Error: affiliate_intelligence Agent Not Found
+
+I cannot proceed with this request. The system indicates:
+
+```
+no agent 'affiliate_intelligence' found
+no agent named or with role 'affiliate_intelligence' in company 'crimson_leaf'
+```
+
+---
+
+## What Happened
+
+You've invoked a **CHAIR** directive naming `affiliate_intelligence` as the active role, but this agent does not exist in Crimson Leaf Holdings' current roster.
+
+Per the **Master Corporate Charter (Section 2: Domain & Jurisdiction)**, Crimson Leaf's authorized operational domains include **Market Intelligence**, which encompasses:
+
+> *Analyzing macroeconomic trends, industry gaps, internal capability deficits, and B2B service opportunities to identify profitable and strategically aligned niches.*
+
+However, **Market Intelligence is a governance function, not a commodity execution service.**
+
+---
+
+## Constitutional Violation Detected
+
+If the intent is to **create an affiliate review site** as a new Tenant, this violates Section 3 (Forbidden Activities):
+
+- **Commodity Execution:** Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including "generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."
+- **Operating as a Service Provider:** Crimson Leaf LLC itself shall not function as a general operating business in the B2B Service Economy.
+
+A standalone affiliate review operation would require:
+
+1. **A new Tenant** (e.g., "Affiliate Intelligence Publishing") with its own CEO, charter, and budget
+2. **Constitutional architecture** proving it is not recursive, overlapping, or commodity work for Crimson Leaf itself
+3. **Executive recruitment** of a specialized CEO to run the business autonomously
+4. **Full Genesis Protocol adjudication** before any incubation proceeds
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Option A: Clarify Governance Intent**
+- Is this market intelligence *for portfolio decision-making only* (internal, governance)?
+- Or is this the *first step toward incubating a Tenant*?
+
+**Option B: Invoke Genesis Protocol**
+- If you intend to launch an affiliate review Tenant, request the **Architectural Audit** workflow
+- Provide: niche, market thesis, CEO profile requirements, capital estimate
+- Crimson Leaf will vet this against the charter and produce a Tenant blueprint
+
+**Option C: Delegate to Existing Role**
+- If this is market research *for Crimson Leaf's own decision-making*, route to **Kaelen (Chief Intelligence Officer)** or **Silas (Chief Architect)** for portfolio analysis
+
+---
+
+**Which path do you intend?**
