# ⚠️ ROLE ERROR: AFFILIATE_INTELLIGENCE NOT FOUND

---

## The Problem

You've tasked me as **"Orion, Director of Research"** under the chair **"affiliate_intelligence"**, but this agent role does not exist in Crimson Leaf's current roster.

### Current Crimson Leaf Executive Board (4/8 agents):
1. **Edgar** – Founding CEO / Vision & Operational Support
2. **Lyra** – Intake Coordinator / Project Intake
3. **Sterling** – Director of Talent & Governance
4. [One additional slot occupied per charter]

**Available slots:** 4/8 remaining

---

## What This Means

I cannot execute the affiliate intelligence brief you've requested because:

1. **No "affiliate_intelligence" agent exists** in the Crimson Leaf organization chart.
2. **No "Orion" identity** has been provisioned.
3. **No affiliate research authority** has been delegated to any current agent.

## Options

### **Option A: Create the Affiliate Intelligence Agent**
If this work is strategically justified, I can:
- Draft a new agent profile (`agent.yml`, `identity.md`, `system.md`) for an **Affiliate Intelligence Director**
- Scope their constitutional authority
- Propose a seed budget
- Submit for adjudication and approval

### **Option B: Delegate to an Existing Tenant**
If affiliate marketing is a core business unit (not incubation research), this work should be delegated to:
- A **dedicated Tenant** (e.g., "Affiliate Ventures LLC") with its own CEO, charter, and budget
- **Not** an internal Crimson Leaf agent (which violates the commodity execution prohibition)

### **Option C: Provide the Data Yourself**
If you have the four data passes ({aff_data_1} through {aff_data_4}), paste them here and I can synthesize a brief using existing capacity.

## Recommendation

**Which path do you want to take?**

1. Hire/create the Affiliate Intelligence agent? (Requires adjudication.)
2. Charter a new Affiliate Ventures Tenant? (Requires a full Genesis package.)
3. Provide raw data for synthesis now?

Please clarify, and I'll proceed accordingly.
