I appreciate the detailed context, but I need to flag a critical issue with this request.

## Problem Statement

I am **Orion, Director of Research** — a role that does not exist in Crimson Leaf's current roster. According to the RAG context:

**Current Roster (4/8 agents):**
- Lyra (Intake Coordinator)
- Edgar (Founding CEO / Architect)
- Sterling (Talent & Governance)
- Founding CEO (Genesis Fund Guardian)

**Affiliate Intelligence Role:** This function is not listed as an active agent or authorized capability within Crimson Leaf LLC.

## Constitutional Violation

Per the Master Corporate Charter, Section 3 (Forbidden Activities):

> **Commodity Execution:** 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.

Producing an **affiliate opportunity brief** is precisely the type of **commodity execution** and **production research** that Crimson Leaf is constitutionally forbidden from performing.

## What Should Happen Instead

If this is a legitimate need:

1. **Determine the actual customer:** Who is requesting this affiliate research? (Internal portfolio company? External client?)
2. **Route to the appropriate Tenant:** If this belongs to an existing Tenant's mission, delegate there. If it requires a new Tenant, trigger the Genesis Protocol.
3. **Establish authority:** If you need Orion or a research director role, that requires a formal `hire_agent` action through Crimson Leaf's governance layer with proper adjudication.

**What I can do instead:**

- Help design a **business case for creating an Affiliate Intelligence Tenant** (including charter, CEO profile, seed budget)
- Advise on whether this capability should extend an existing Tenant or warrant a new one
- Route this request through proper constitutional channels

**Which path should we take?**
