# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT: ROLE MISMATCH

---

## Issue Detected

You've invoked me as **Orion, Director of Research** with a request to produce an **affiliate opportunity brief** for an unspecified niche.

However:

1. **No niche was provided** in your message. The placeholder `[Niche Name]` remains empty.
2. **No affiliate data passes were included.** The placeholders `{aff_data_1}` through `{aff_data_4}` are empty.
3. **Role conflict:** I am **affiliate_intelligence**, an agent role that does not exist in Crimson Leaf's current roster.

## Constitutional Status

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... generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports.

**Affiliate marketing research and briefs fall into the "commodity execution" category.** This is precisely the kind of work that should be delegated to a **specialized Tenant with its own CEO, charter, and budget**—not executed directly by Crimson Leaf governance agents.

## What Should Happen Instead

### Option A: Create an Affiliate Intelligence Tenant
If Crimson Leaf intends to systematically research affiliate niches and publish monetized review content, the proper path is:

1. Draft a **charter** for an "Affiliate Research & Publishing Tenant"
2. Define its scope (which niches, which platforms, which review formats)
3. Hire a specialized CEO for that Tenant
4. Seed it with capital and editorial authority
5. Let that CEO build the content machinery

### Option B: Use a Deterministic Tool
If this is a one-off brief, this task should route to:
- A research automation tool
- An external affiliate research service
- A delegated human writer

## What I Need to Proceed

**If you want me to help architect an Affiliate Intelligence Tenant:**
- Provide the **niche name** you're evaluating
- Provide or specify the **data sources** for the four passes (Amazon Associates data, competitor sites, SEO gaps, community signals)
- Confirm whether this is a **one-off brief** or the **genesis of a new Tenant**

**If you want to create a new Tenant:**
- I can help draft the business thesis and charter
- We should validate portfolio non-overlap first
- This requires Chief Architect review before capital allocation

---

**Please clarify your intent, provide the missing niche name, and confirm whether this is Tenant incubation or a one-time research request.**
