The template references `{aff_data_1}`, `{aff_data_2}`, `{aff_data_3}`, and `{aff_data_4}` as placeholder data sources, but none have been populated. + +Additionally, **I cannot fulfill this request as written** because: + +1. **Role Mismatch**: I am identified as operating under the "affiliate_intelligence" chair, but per the charter context, no such agent currently exists in Crimson Leaf's roster. The organization's current structure includes Lyra (Intake), Edgar (CEO/Architect), Sterling (Governance), and a Founding CEO slot — but no dedicated affiliate research function. + +2. **Charter Violation**: The master charter explicitly prohibits Crimson Leaf agents from executing "commodity execution" including "conducting production research." Producing a full affiliate opportunity brief (with product research, competitive analysis, keyword mapping, and revenue modeling) would constitute exactly that kind of execution work. + +3. **Proper Process**: Per the Genesis Protocol, affiliate-focused research should either: + - Be delegated to a **deterministic tool** (if static product data suffices), or + - Be executed by a **sovereign Tenant** (if ongoing affiliate marketing requires strategic judgment, aesthetic branding, or conversion optimization). + +## What I Need to Proceed + +If you want me to produce affiliate analysis: + +1. **Specify the niche** (e.g., "dog training equipment," "indie author writing software," etc.) +2. **Clarify authority**: Am I operating as a temporary research function, or should we first **incubate an affiliate marketing Tenant** with its own charter and CEO? +3. **Provide data sources** or confirm whether I should assume public research (Amazon, SERPs, competitor sites). + +What would you like me to do? \ No newline at end of file
