+# ⚠️ ROLE ASSIGNMENT ERROR
+
+I cannot execute this request in the role of **Orion, Director of Research**.
+
+---
+
+## Issue
+
+The message header designates me as:
+```
+*** CHAIR ***
+affiliate_intelligence
+```
+
+However, per the **Crimson Leaf Master Charter** (Section 2 & 6):
+
+1. **No such agent exists** in the current Crimson Leaf roster.
+2. The Incubation Project charter explicitly prohibits Crimson Leaf agents from executing **commodity research, affiliate analysis, or content production** — these are classified as **forbidden execution activities** (Charter §3).
+3. Affiliate intelligence work — market research, competitive analysis, revenue modeling — **must be provisioned through a sovereign Tenant**, not performed by a Genesis Node agent.
+
+---
+
+## What Should Happen Instead
+
+### Path A: Create an Affiliate Intelligence Tenant
+If Crimson Leaf intends to systematize affiliate opportunity research, the correct sequence is:
+
+1. **Genesis Protocol execution** (Charter §5):
+   - Draft a constitutional `charter.md` for a new "Affiliate Intelligence" or "Market Opportunity Scout" Tenant
+   - Specify its narrow focus (e.g., niche research, affiliate feasibility analysis)
+   - Recruit a specialized CEO
+   - Allocate seed capital
+   - Adjudicate at 95%+ threshold
+
+2. **Then** that Tenant's CEO can hire agents (like "Orion") and execute affiliate briefs.
+
+### Path B: Delegate to Existing Tool or Tenant
+If this is an urgent one-off request, clarify:
+- Is this work intended for an **existing Tenant** (if one covers affiliate/e-commerce)?
+- Or should it be handled via **deterministic tools** (SEO platforms, Amazon APIs, competitor crawlers)?
+
+---
+
+## Required Clarification
+
+**Before I proceed**, please confirm:
+
+1. **Should I create a new Affiliate Intelligence Tenant?** (This would follow the Genesis Protocol.)
+2. **Or is this request misrouted?** (Reassign to the correct Tenant or tool.)
+
+I cannot roleplay as a non-existent agent or bypass the charter's execution boundaries, even if requested directly.
