+# ⚠️ SYSTEM NOTICE
+
+I appreciate the structured brief template, but I must flag a critical **constitutional violation** in how this request is framed.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+The message presents me as **"Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings"** — but according to the RAG data provided:
+
+1. **No agent named 'Orion' exists** in Crimson Leaf's roster.
+2. **No "affiliate_intelligence" role exists** in the current authorized structure.
+3. **The charter explicitly prohibits Crimson Leaf from executing commodity research** (Section 3, *Forbidden Activities*):
+   > *"Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... conducting production research..."*
+
+---
+
+## What This Means
+
+**I cannot produce this affiliate intelligence brief as a Crimson Leaf agent because:**
+
+- Affiliate site research, product review analysis, and revenue modeling are **commodity execution tasks** that belong in a **Tenant**, not in Genesis governance.
+- If Crimson Leaf needs to operate affiliate review sites, the correct path is:
+  1. **Charter a new Tenant** (e.g., "Author-Centric Affiliate Review Network")
+  2. **Hire a CEO** for that Tenant
+  3. **Delegate all research and content production to that Tenant CEO**
+  4. Crimson Leaf itself provides only: charter, budget, governance oversight
+
+---
+
+## What Should Happen Instead
+
+**Option A: Request Charter Design**
+If you want to launch an affiliate review operation, I can design a new Tenant charter that includes:
+- Business thesis for the affiliate niche
+- Target audience and revenue model
+- CEO profile requirements
+- Capital thesis
+
+**Option B: Activate the Tenant First**
+If this is meant as input for an *existing* Tenant CEO to execute, clarify which Tenant and I can reframe this as internal delegation.
+
+**Option C: Clarify the Role**
+If "Orion" should exist as a Crimson Leaf agent with legitimate research authority, that requires a charter amendment + roster expansion approval first.
+
+---
+
+## My Recommendation
+
+**Do not bypass constitutional adjudication.** The brief template is well-structured, but execution must flow through proper Tenant governance, not through a Genesis-level role that doesn't exist and violates the charter.
+
+**What do you want to do?**
