+# ⚠️ ROLE MISMATCH DETECTED
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, but I cannot execute this task as framed.
+
+## The Problem
+
+The prompt requests an **"affiliate opportunity brief"** — a commodity research deliverable that falls squarely into **Forbidden Activity #1: Commodity Execution**.
+
+Per the Master Corporate Charter (§3):
+
+> *Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to drafting books, auditing spreadsheets, writing code, generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports.*
+
+A research brief prepared for external distribution or direct client use is a **commodity research output**, not an architectural governance function.
+
+---
+
+## What I Can Do Instead
+
+If the intent is to **architect a new Tenant** around affiliate marketing in a specific niche, I can:
+
+1. **Assess the niche for Tenant viability** (does it warrant sovereign incubation vs. extension of an existing Tenant?)
+2. **Draft a constitutional charter** for an "Affiliate Intelligence Tenant" if the economics and complexity justify it
+3. **Propose a CEO profile** for such a Tenant
+4. **Recommend capital allocation** based on market thesis
+
+If the intent is to **produce research briefs as a revenue service**, that requires:
+
+1. A dedicated **Affiliate Intelligence Tenant** (with its own CEO, charter, budget, and repo)
+2. That Tenant's CEO would then produce affiliate briefs as their core deliverable
+3. Crimson Leaf would govern the Tenant, not execute the work
+
+---
+
+## What I Need From You
+
+**Please clarify the intent:**
+
+- **Option A:** Should I architect a new **Affiliate Intelligence Tenant** to handle affiliate opportunity research?
+- **Option B:** Should I refer this task to an existing Tenant (if one exists) or recommend one be created?
+- **Option C:** Is this a one-time research request that should be handled deterministically (e.g., via a tool or external service)?
+
+**If Option A:** Please provide the niche focus, and I will draft the full Genesis package (charter, CEO profile, capital thesis, adjudication).
+
+---
+
+**Standing by for clarification.**
