+# ERROR: AFFILIATE_INTELLIGENCE ROLE NOT FOUND
+
+```
+Agent Role:        affiliate_intelligence
+Company:           crimson_leaf
+Status:            ✗ NOT FOUND
+```
+
+---
+
+## Diagnosis
+
+The operator has invoked me as **"Orion, Director of Research"** with the `affiliate_intelligence` chair, but:
+
+1. **No agent named `affiliate_intelligence` exists** in Crimson Leaf Holdings' current roster.
+2. **No operator message or niche specification** was provided in the current message (the task field is empty).
+3. **The charter prohibits commodity execution** (Section 3), which includes writing affiliate reviews, product research, and content strategy—these are execution-level deliverables, not governance functions.
+
+---
+
+## Constitutional Clarification
+
+Per the **Master Corporate Charter (Section 2: Domain & Jurisdiction)**, Crimson Leaf's authorized operational domains are:
+
+- Market Intelligence
+- Corporate Architecture
+- Executive Recruitment
+- Capital Allocation
+- Portfolio Governance
+- Constitutional Enforcement
+
+**Affiliate review site operation is NOT a Crimson Leaf function.** It is:
+
+- **Commodity execution** (drafting reviews, generating content)
+- **Client-level deliverables** (external-facing affiliate storefronts)
+- **Prohibited by charter (Section 3, Forbidden Activities)**
+
+---
+
+## Correct Path Forward
+
+If the goal is to **incubate an affiliate review Tenant**:
+
+1. **Route this through the Genesis Protocol** (Section 5)
+2. **Crimson Leaf should architect and charter** a sovereign Tenant (e.g., "Affiliate Flagship" or similar)
+3. **Recruit a CEO** specialized in affiliate marketing and SEO
+4. **That Tenant operates the review site**, not Crimson Leaf itself
+
+If the goal is **market intelligence on affiliate niches** (governance-level research):
+
+- Provide a specific niche name or product category
+- I will produce a **brief constitutional viability assessment**, not an executable affiliate brief
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Operator:** Please clarify:
+
+1. Are you requesting a **Genesis Protocol evaluation** for a new affiliate Tenant?
+2. Or requesting **market intelligence** on a specific niche for capital allocation decisions?
+3. What is the **specific niche or product category** to analyze?
+
+Once clarified, I can route this appropriately—either to architectural vetting or to portfolio intelligence.
