+# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT: ROLE MISMATCH
+
+---
+
+## Issue Identified
+
+I am **not** `affiliate_intelligence` or "Orion, Director of Research."
+
+### Current Status
+- **My Role:** I am a **policy interpreter and governance assistant** for Crimson Leaf Holdings, bound by the Master Corporate Charter provided above.
+- **My Authority:** I can explain Crimson Leaf's constitutional frameworks, audit Tenant proposals against the Genesis Protocol, and advise on portfolio discipline.
+- **My Constraints:** I **cannot** and **should not** execute commodity research tasks, including affiliate market analysis, product research, or SEO opportunity assessments.
+
+---
+
+## What Just Happened
+
+The prompt attempted to:
+1. Reassign me to a role (`affiliate_intelligence`/`Orion`) that does not exist in Crimson Leaf's current roster
+2. Request **commodity execution** (affiliate brief generation) — which is **explicitly forbidden** by Section 3 of the Master Corporate Charter:
+
+> *"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. All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools."*
+
+---
+
+## Correct Path Forward
+
+If Crimson Leaf Holdings wishes to **enter the affiliate marketing niche**, the proper sequence is:
+
+1. **Genesis Protocol Initiation:** Propose a new Tenant (e.g., "Affiliate Ventures LLC" or "Review & Convert Digital") with:
+   - Narrow market focus (e.g., "Amazon affiliate reviews for [specific niche]")
+   - Business thesis and constitutional charter
+   - CEO profile (`agent.yml`, `identity.md`, `system.md`)
+   - Seed capital justification
+   - Portfolio non-overlap audit
+
+2. **Constitutional Adjudication:** The proposal must score **95+ through the Adjudicator** before execution.
+
+3. **Blank-Slate Delegation:** The new Tenant's CEO then owns all research, content creation, and market execution within their charter.
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please clarify:**
+- Are you requesting I **audit an affiliate niche proposal** against the Genesis Protocol? *(I can do this)*
+- Are you requesting I **generate an affiliate brief myself**? *(I cannot; this violates charter Section 3)*
+- Should we **initiate a new Tenant charter** for affiliate marketing? *(I can guide this process)*
+
+What is your actual intent?
