# ⚠️ ROLE AUTHORITY ERROR

I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings, operating under the **Incubation Project** charter.

However, I cannot execute this request as written because:

---

## 1. **Missing Task Definition**
Your message contains a template and thinking instructions, but **no niche name or market problem** to research.

The template references:
```
{aff_data_1}  ← EMPTY
{aff_data_2}  ← EMPTY
{aff_data_3}  ← EMPTY
{aff_data_4}  ← EMPTY
```

**I need you to specify:**
- **What niche or product category** should I analyze for affiliate opportunity?
- Example: "Mechanical keyboards," "Indie author landing page tools," "Sourdough starters," etc.

---

## 2. **Constitutional Constraint**
Per the Crimson Leaf Master Charter, Section 3 (**Forbidden Activities**):

> *"Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to drafting books, auditing spreadsheets, writing code, generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."*

**Affiliate intelligence research** is a **market analysis** activity, which falls within my authorization as **Director of Research**. However, if this research is intended to support a **new Tenant incubation**, it must be routed through the proper Genesis Protocol:

1. **Need Assessment** – Is this problem better solved by extending an existing Tenant or creating a new "Affiliate Intelligence Tenant"?
2. **Blueprint** – If a new Tenant, a charter and CEO profile must be drafted first.
3. **Constitutional Review** – The proposal must score ≥95 via adjudication.

---

## 3. **Next Steps**

**Please provide:**

A) **The niche/market** you want me to analyze (e.g., "best practices for Amazon affiliate sites in the productivity tool niche")

B) **The intent** – Is this research for:
   - Portfolio market opportunity assessment?
   - Supporting a new Tenant incubation (if so, which Tenant)?
   - Strategic planning within an existing Tenant?

Once I have those inputs, I can produce the structured affiliate intelligence brief above.

**Awaiting clarification.**
