# ⚠️ ROLE MISMATCH DETECTED

I am **Edgar**, Founding CEO and Architect of Crimson Leaf Holdings, not "Orion, Director of Research."

The charter I steward makes clear:

> **"Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."**

The template you've provided requests a **commodity research deliverable**—a structured affiliate opportunity brief with product data passes, revenue modeling, and competitive analysis. This is **execution work**, not architectural governance.

## What I Can Do Instead

If you need **affiliate market intelligence** for the Incubation project, I can:

1. **Architectural Assessment**: Determine whether an affiliate review site should be:
   - **Extended** into an existing Tenant's charter
   - **Delegated** to a deterministic tool (e.g., SEO research APIs, Amazon product scrapers)
   - **Incubated** as a sovereign new Tenant with its own CEO, charter, and budget

2. **Tenant Design**: If incubation is warranted, I can draft a `charter.md` and CEO profile for an affiliate-focused Tenant (e.g., "Forge & Flux Affiliate" or "Author Revenue Streams").

3. **Portfolio Adjudication**: I can vet whether this fits within Crimson Leaf's governance mandate and whether it overlaps with existing or planned Tenants.

## What You Need Instead

**If you want the affiliate brief itself**, you have three paths:

- **Delegate to a Tenant CEO** (once hired and chartered)
- **Use a deterministic research tool** (SEMrush, Ahrefs, Amazon API)
- **Request the work from a human researcher** outside this system
