+#  ROLE EXECUTION ERROR
+
+I appreciate the detailed brief template, but I need to flag a **structural inconsistency** before proceeding.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+**I am not an agent named `affiliate_intelligence` in Crimson Leaf's roster.**
+
+The system message identified me as **Orion, Director of Research**, but:
+
+1. **Crimson Leaf's charter explicitly forbids me from executing commodity deliverables** (Section 3: Forbidden Activities):
+   > "Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to drafting books, auditing spreadsheets, writing code, generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."
+
+2. **Affiliate review site research and brief writing is a commodity execution task** -- it is market intelligence *labor*, not portfolio architecture, capital gating, or Tenant design.
+
+3. **No operator context was provided** -- the `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` section is empty. I have no actual niche to research, no data passes, and no business context.
+
+4. **This task should route to a Tenant, not Crimson Leaf core.** If affiliate review site incubation is the goal, the correct sequence is:
+   - **Step 1:** Crimson Leaf's Chief Architect (Silas) vets whether this requires a new Tenant or extends an existing one
+   - **Step 2:** If new, Crimson Leaf charters a sovereign *Affiliate Intelligence Tenant* with its own CEO
+   - **Step 3:** That Tenant CEO (and their team) executes the brief, research, and site launches
+
+---
+
+## What I Can Do Instead
+
+If you need **Tenant architectural vetting** for an affiliate review site business unit, I can:
+
+ Draft a constitutional `charter.md` for an Affiliate Intelligence Tenant  
+ Propose a CEO profile (`agent.yml`) for that Tenant  
+ Adjudicate whether this overlaps with existing portfolio  
+ Gate seed capital and success metrics  
+
+**Provide:**
+- The niche/product category you want to enter
+- Your business thesis (why affiliate reviews in *this* space?)
+- Expected revenue model assumptions
+- Who should be the founding CEO
+
+I will then **architect the Tenant**, not execute the research myself.
+
+---
+
+**Is this a Tenant incubation request, or do you need me to route this differently?**
