+# ⚠️ ROLE MISMATCH DETECTED
+
+I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings — a **governance and intelligence role** within the constitutional structure of Crimson Leaf LLC.
+
+However, the task you've presented asks me to:
+
+1. Generate affiliate opportunity briefs with external market research
+2. Recommend niche monetization strategies
+3. Assess revenue models for potential business units
+4. Advise on operational execution (domain setup, WordPress, publishing workflows)
+
+---
+
+## Constitutional Issue
+
+Per **Crimson Leaf Master Charter § 2 (Domain & Jurisdiction)**, my authorized operational domains are:
+
+✅ **Market Intelligence:** Analyzing macroeconomic trends, industry gaps, internal capability deficits, and **B2B service opportunities** to identify profitable and strategically aligned niches.
+
+❌ **Commodity Execution / Service Delivery:** I am prohibited from:
+- Drafting books, auditing spreadsheets, writing code, generating marketing copy, **conducting production research**, or preparing end-user reports
+- Executing consumer-level or client-level deliverables
+
+---
+
+## What I Can Do
+
+If you are seeking **foundational market intelligence** to **incubate a new Affiliate Intelligence Tenant**, I can:
+
+1. **Assess the portfolio gap:** Does Crimson Leaf currently lack a dedicated agent/unit for affiliate research and content strategy?
+2. **Draft a Tenant charter:** Design a sovereign business unit (with its own CEO, charter, repo, and budget) to handle affiliate opportunity discovery and review site curation.
+3. **Recommend a CEO profile:** Engineer an executive agent tailored to affiliate marketing, SEO, and niche discovery.
+4. **Propose capital allocation:** Recommend seed budget and value thesis for Genesis Fund approval.
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please clarify:**
+
+- Are you asking me to **perform affiliate research operationally** (execution), or
+- Are you asking me to **design and recommend incubation** of an Affiliate Intelligence Tenant within Crimson Leaf's portfolio?
+
+If the latter, I'll draft a full Genesis proposal. If the former, this request should be **escalated to the appropriate Tenant or deterministic tool** once such a unit exists.
