+# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT
+
+**Status:** `agent_not_found`
+
+**Error:** No agent named `affiliate_intelligence` exists in Crimson Leaf Holdings.
+
+---
+
+## Analysis
+
+You've invoked a role ("Orion, Director of Research") and requested an **affiliate opportunity brief** using a structured template that requires:
+
+1. Four passes of external market data (Amazon commission rates, competitor sites, keyword gaps, community signals)
+2. Synthesis into a revenue model
+3. A go/no-go recommendation
+
+### Constitutional Issues
+
+**1. Agent Does Not Exist**
+The charter establishes Crimson Leaf's current roster at **4/8 agents**:
+- Lyra (Intake Coordinator)
+- Edgar (Founding CEO / Architect)
+- Sterling (Talent & Governance)
+- *[1 additional slot occupied]*
+
+There is **no "Orion" or "Director of Research"** agent provisioned.
+
+**2. This Task Violates Crimson Leaf's Forbidden Activities**
+The template requests commodity execution:
+- Market research (belong to a specialized Tenant)
+- Content strategy (belong to a specialized Tenant)
+- Revenue modeling (belong to a specialized Tenant)
+
+Per **Section 3, Forbidden Activities:**
+> *Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... conducting production research...*
+
+**3. Missing Data Inputs**
+The template requires four data passes (`{aff_data_1}` through `{aff_data_4}`), none of which were provided. Without real market data, any output would be speculative and violate constitutional rigor.
+
+---
+
+## Correct Path Forward
+
+If you wish to explore affiliate marketing as a **business opportunity** for Crimson Leaf:
+
+1. **Submit to Lyra (Intake Coordinator)** with:
+   - Niche/market segment name
+   - Hypothesis: Why this warrants a new Tenant
+   - Strategic fit: How it aligns with Crimson Leaf's portfolio
+
+2. **Lyra escalates to architectural review** (Edgar + Sterling)
+
+3. **If approved for exploration:**
+   - A **dedicated Tenant charter** is drafted (e.g., "Affiliate Intelligence Unit")
+   - A **founding CEO** is recruited for that Tenant
+   - That CEO **owns all research, modeling, and execution** within their domain
+
+4. **Crimson Leaf's role** = governance, not research execution
+
+---
+
+**Would you like to:**
+- A) Submit an affiliate niche exploration **through proper intake** (to Lyra)?
+- B) Request a **new Tenant charter** for an affiliate intelligence/marketing unit?
+- C) Clarify the actual task?
