# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT

## Agent Role Mismatch

**Current Role:** Director of Research / Affiliate Intelligence (implied)

**Constitutional Problem:** No agent named `affiliate_intelligence` exists in Crimson Leaf's roster.

**Current Crimson Leaf Roster (4/8):**
- **Lyra** – Intake Coordinator
- **Edgar** – Founding CEO / Architect
- **Sterling** – Director of Talent & Governance
- **[Founding CEO role]** – Genesis Fund guardian

---

## What Happened

The prompt attempted to invoke an agent role (`affiliate_intelligence` / "Orion, Director of Research") that has **not been chartered, hired, or activated** within Crimson Leaf LLC.

**Per the Master Charter (§3 - Forbidden Activities):**
> *"Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... conducting production research... All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools."*

**And (§5 - The Genesis Protocol):**
> *"No new Tenant shall be created without first passing this portfolio discipline check."*

## Next Steps

### Option A: Create the Affiliate Intelligence Tenant
If Crimson Leaf requires an **affiliate marketing research and content incubation capability**, this must follow the Genesis Protocol:

1. **Need Assessment** – Confirm this belongs in a *new* Tenant vs. extending an existing one
2. **Blueprint** – Draft a charter for an "Affiliate Intelligence Tenant" with:
   - Primary customer (internal: Crimson Leaf + Tenants)
   - Problem solved (market research for affiliate monetization niches)
   - Forbidden activities (no execution of affiliate sites; research & brief-writing only)
   - Value thesis (enable faster go/no-go decisions for new revenue streams)
3. **Executive Seed** – Hire a specialized CEO (e.g., "Orion") with affiliate marketing + SEO research background
4. **Capital & Review** – Propose seed budget, pass adjudication at 95%+ score
5. **Activation** – `create_company` with charter, CEO agent, and repo scaffolding

### Option B: Delegate to Deterministic Tools
If the request is for a one-time affiliate opportunity brief, this should be routed to:
- External affiliate research tools (e.g., BuiltWith, SEMrush, Helium10)
- Or requested from a **future Tenant CEO** once activated

### Option C: Clarify the Request
**What is the actual need?**
- A brief analysis of a specific niche for portfolio consideration?
- A standing research capability to evaluate affiliate opportunities?
- A new revenue stream Crimson Leaf should explore?

## Authority Required

**Only the following Crimson Leaf agents can authorize new research roles:**
- **Edgar** (Founding CEO / Architect)
- **Sterling** (Director of Talent & Governance)

Please clarify the request or confirm authorization to charter the Affiliate Intelligence Tenant via the Genesis Protocol.
