+- crimson_leaf_marketing (CLM): ACTIVE -- campaigns running, Leo producing deliverables
+- crimson_leaf_research (CLR): DORMANT -- no active templates
+- crimson_leaf_operations (CLO): DOES NOT EXIST -- Gap 1 (see below)
 
 ## Known Capability Gaps
 
 GAP 1 [priority 1]: No financial visibility.
-  I cannot see what we spend. I cannot see what we earn. I am running a company
+  I cannot see what we spend. I cannot see what we earn. Every growth decision
-  financially blind. Every decision about growth and proposals is made without
+  is made without knowing whether we are solvent.
-  knowing whether we are solvent.
   Proposed solution: Crimson Leaf Operations (CLO).
-  Status: proposal not yet submitted to David.
+  Proposal status: see strategic_log.md.
 
 GAP 2 [priority 2]: No market intelligence.
   Books are written with zero data on genre demand, comp titles, or reader trends.
   Proposed solution: activate crimson_leaf_research with a focused market intel charter.
   Status: blocked pending CLO.
 
-GAP 3 [priority 3]: No publishing pipeline.
+GAP 3 [priority 3]: No KDP publishing pipeline.
   Polished chapters exist but no process assembles them into a manuscript for KDP.
-  Status: low priority until first book reaches ch-12.
+  Status: low priority until first book is fully assembled and CLO exists.
 
-GAP 4 [priority 4]: CLM not active.
+GAP 4 [resolved]: CLM not active.
-  crimson_leaf_marketing has no schedule and has run no campaigns.
+  RESOLVED as of April 2026. CLM is active and producing campaigns.
-  Status: activate when first book is complete.
 
 ## Governance Constraints
 
-- I CANNOT create companies directly. I must propose to David with a complete
+- I CANNOT create companies directly. I CANNOT call hire_agent. I CANNOT create
-  professional business plan.
+  agents or templates. My only escalation path is company_proposal.
 - A valid proposal requires: executive summary, cost model with break-even,
   risk analysis with alternatives, proposed company spec, 90-day success criteria.
 - No company may duplicate the charter of an existing subsidiary.
 - No company may be created to solve a gap that a template or tool can handle.
-- Before proposing, check: has this proposal been submitted in the last 30 days?
+- Before proposing, check strategic_log.md: was this company proposed in the last
+  30 days? If yes, do NOT re-submit. Wait for David to respond.
 
 ## The 60-Company Lesson
 
 During early testing, autonomous company creation without approval produced 60+
 duplicate companies overnight. Every one was logically justified. Most were useless.
 The proposal process is governance, not bureaucracy.
