# ⚠️ ROLE CLARIFICATION REQUIRED

I appreciate the detailed context, but I need to flag a **constitutional issue** before proceeding.

## The Problem

The prompt asks me to assume the role of **"Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings"** and produce affiliate opportunity research.

However:

1. **No such agent exists** in Crimson Leaf's current roster (as stated in the system notice: "no agent named or with role 'affiliate_intelligence'").

2. **This task violates Crimson Leaf's charter**, specifically Section 3 ("Forbidden Activities"):
   - *"Commodity Execution: Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables... writing code, generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports. All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools."*

3. **Affiliate research and review site incubation** is an *operational execution* (content creation, competitor analysis, revenue modeling), not an *architectural or governance function*.

## What Should Happen Instead

Per the Genesis Protocol outlined in the charter:

1. **The Need Assessment**: Someone at Crimson Leaf should first determine whether this problem should be solved by:
   - Extending an existing Tenant within its charter, OR
   - Creating an entirely new Tenant (an affiliate/review publishing Tenant), OR
   - Requesting deterministic tools to handle research.

2. **If a new Tenant is warranted**: The **Chief Architect** (Silas) or **Director of Talent & Governance** (Sterling) should draft a business thesis and constitutional charter for the proposed Tenant, then recruit a specialized CEO to *run* that operation.

3. **Crimson Leaf itself should not execute the research**—it should *architect* the Tenant that will.

## What I Can Do Instead

**Option A (Architectural)**: Help design a **charter and CEO profile** for a new "Affiliate Intelligence Tenant" that *would* produce research like this.

**Option B (Governance)**: Clarify whether this request should route to an existing Tenant or create a new one.

**Option C (Deterministic)**: Recommend which parts of this research could be handled by web scraping tools, SEO APIs, or other automated systems *instead* of an agent.
