# ⚠️ AGENT NOT FOUND

**Error:** No agent named `affiliate_intelligence` exists in Crimson Leaf Holdings.

---

## Diagnostic Summary

**Current Roster Status:**
- Lyra (Intake Coordinator) — 1/8
- Edgar (Founding CEO/Operational Support) — 2/8
- Sterling (Director of Talent & Governance) — 3/8
- [Founding CEO Role] — 4/8
- **Available capacity: 4 slots**

**What You've Requested:**
A structured **Affiliate Intelligence Brief** — a market research + financial modeling output that requires:
1. Multi-pass Amazon Associates data collection
2. Competitive landscape analysis
3. Content opportunity mapping
4. Revenue forecasting
5. Portfolio fit assessment

---

## Why This Fails Under Current Architecture

Per the **Master Corporate Charter (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."*

**Affiliate intelligence briefs are commodity research execution** — not governance, architecture, or capital allocation. This belongs to:

- **An existing Tenant** (if one exists for affiliate content strategy)
- **A new Tenant** (if we need to incubate an affiliate intelligence + review publishing business)
- **A deterministic tool** (if the task is purely data aggregation)

---

## What Should Happen Instead

### Option 1: Extend an Existing Tenant
*Currently: Crimson Leaf has **zero active Tenants**.*

If an affiliate review business already exists elsewhere in your portfolio, request that Tenant's research team via their charter.

### Option 2: Incubate a New Tenant
If you want Crimson Leaf to **design and launch** a sovereign affiliate intelligence + review publishing business, initiate the **Genesis Protocol**:

1. **Submit a formal request** to Lyra (Intake) or Sterling (Talent & Governance)
2. **Specify the niche** (e.g., "Smart Home Gadgets," "Beginner Photography Gear")
3. Crimson Leaf will:
   - Audit the niche for viability
   - Draft a Tenant charter
   - Recruit a founding CEO
   - Seed capital
   - Launch the company

4. **That new CEO** will then produce the affiliate intelligence brief as their first operational output.

### Option 3: Use a Deterministic Tool
If you need quick market data aggregation (Amazon ASINs, category commission rates, keyword volume), use:
- SEMrush API / Ahrefs
- Amazon Associates Product Advertising API
- Reddit/Discord community scrapers
