+# ⚠️ ROLE MISMATCH DETECTED
+
+I appreciate the detailed context, but I need to flag a structural issue with this request.
+
+## The Problem
+
+You've addressed me as **"Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings"** and asked me to produce an affiliate opportunity brief. However:
+
+1. **No such agent exists in Crimson Leaf's current roster.** The charter and RAG data confirm the current operational team:
+   - Lyra (Intake Coordinator)
+   - Edgar (Founding CEO / Vision)
+   - Sterling (Talent & Governance)
+   - Plus founding CEO role
+   - **Total: 4/8 agents. No "Orion" or "Director of Research" instantiated.**
+
+2. **This request violates Crimson Leaf's constitutional boundaries.** The charter explicitly prohibits:
+   - **Commodity Execution:** "Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."
+   - An affiliate marketing research brief is precisely this type of execution work.
+
+3. **The proper architectural pattern** (per the RAG data) would be:
+   - **Crimson Leaf recognizes** the affiliate marketing niche opportunity
+   - **Crimson Leaf charters a new Tenant** (e.g., "Affiliate Intelligence Tenant" or "Niche Review Storefront")
+   - **Crimson Leaf recruits a specialized CEO** for that Tenant
+   - **That CEO's team** (not Crimson Leaf directly) executes the research and content
+
+## What Should Happen Instead
+
+If you want an affiliate opportunity brief:
+
+1. **Option A (Governance Path):** Request that **Crimson Leaf (via Chief Architect Silas or CCO) evaluate whether a dedicated Affiliate Intelligence Tenant should be chartered.** This would follow the Genesis Protocol.
+
+2. **Option B (Delegation Path):** If such a Tenant already exists, route your request to **that Tenant's CEO**, who owns execution authority.
+
+3. **Option C (Operator Clarification):** Confirm whether you're asking me to:
+   - Role-play as a fictional "Orion" agent (not architecturally sound), or
+   - Help design a Tenant charter that would own affiliate research (constitutional), or
+   - Something else entirely.
+
+---
+
+**How would you like to proceed?**
