# ⚠️ ROLE REJECTION: affiliate_intelligence

---

## Status
**Agent Not Found:** No agent named or with role **'affiliate_intelligence'** exists in Crimson Leaf Holdings' current roster.

---

## Current Authorized Roster (4/8 agents)
1. **Lyra** — Intake Coordinator
2. **Edgar** — Founding CEO / Architect
3. **Sterling** — Director of Talent & Governance
4. **Founding CEO** — Genesis Fund Guardian

---

## Constitutional Barrier

Per **Section 3: Forbidden Activities** of the Crimson Leaf Master Charter:

> *"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. All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools."*

**Affiliate intelligence research and brief production** is a **commodity execution activity** that violates this boundary. Crimson Leaf's governance mandate is to:
- Identify market gaps requiring **new Tenant incubation**
- NOT execute affiliate review site operations directly

---

## Correct Path Forward

If the goal is to **incubate an affiliate marketing Tenant** (e.g., "Ink & Anchor Digital" for indie author niche reviews), the process is:

1. **Submit intake request to Lyra** (Intake Coordinator) describing the niche opportunity
2. **Crimson Leaf performs portfolio assessment** (architectural fit, non-overlap, deterministic tool adequacy)
3. **If viable:** Genesis Protocol proceeds → CEO recruitment → charter drafting → capitalization
4. **New Tenant CEO** executes affiliate research, content planning, and site operations

If the goal is **quick affiliate research without Tenant formation**, use a **deterministic tool** (e.g., ChatGPT, SEMrush, Ahrefs) outside the Crimson Leaf governance layer.

## Next Steps

**Who should you contact?**
- **Lyra** (Intake) — to propose a new affiliate review Tenant
- **Edgar** or **Sterling** — to discuss organizational structure needs

**What information do you have?**
- Target niche / product category?
- Estimated revenue thesis?
- Why this requires a sovereign Tenant vs. a deterministic tool?

*Reply with clarification, and Crimson Leaf will route your request to the appropriate agent or governance process.*
