# Proposal Index: Crimson Leaf Holdings

This file is the authoritative list of all company proposals submitted by Edgar.
Read this before proposing -- it documents every prior attempt and why it was rejected.

**The ONLY authorized gap for new proposals is GAP 1: CLO (Crimson Leaf Operations).**
CLO is an INTERNAL operations and accounting company -- NOT a client-facing product.

---

## What CLO Must Be (David's Requirements)

- **Type**: Internal operations / financial visibility tool
- **Purpose**: Give Edgar and David visibility into API costs, revenue, and expenses
- **NOT**: A storefront, a publishing platform, a DTC author tool, or any client-facing product
- **The gap**: Edgar cannot see costs, revenue, or API expenses. Decisions are made blind.
- **Required**: A full professional business plan before David will approve creation.

## Rejected Proposals (Do NOT Repeat These)

### Ink & Anchor Digital -- Tasks 0d80560c, 13adc48e, 348f8719, 6f86fbb1, 63136109, 857ef6e1, 45dfae65, 4e8bbd4e, f7290270, ccb79de6, c8990e30, c7801662, a47b8efc, 5611a2fc, ceaa0c81, 77a90934, 863cd274, d21cb88c, e828bccd, e16b13ba
Date: 2026-04-26 through 2026-04-29
Status: REJECTED by David
Reason: WRONG COMPANY. These proposed a client-facing author storefront ("Indie Author
  Stack," "DTC author platform," "book marketing hub"). That is NOT CLO. David explicitly
  rejected all of these. A DTC storefront is NOT the operations gap.

### Forge & Flux Digital -- Tasks 63136109, ac60bb87
Date: 2026-04-28
Status: REJECTED by David
Reason: WRONG COMPANY. Same class of error as Ink & Anchor -- external product, not internal operations.

### Crimson Leaf Incubation Operations -- Task ef311c3b
Date: 2026-04-29
Status: REJECTED (wrong company)
Reason: Proposed an incubation tenant architecture system. That is NOT the operations gap.
  The incubation function is already handled by Edgar under the Holdings charter.

### Crimson Leaf Incubation Studio -- Task 4fb6912c
Date: 2026-04-29
Status: REJECTED (wrong company)
Reason: Proposed an incubation workflow company. Same error as above. Still not CLO.

### Unnamed Incubation Spec -- Tasks 6eb5105b
Date: 2026-04-29
Status: REJECTED (wrong company)
Reason: Incubation architecture spec. Not CLO.

### Crimson Leaf Operations (CLO) -- Task 86694b64-f7ef-4902-bc49-028e7fdc52c6
Date: 2026-04-29
Status: AWAITING DAVID'S APPROVAL
Summary: Proposed an internal operations and financial tracking company designed to solve
          the visibility gap. It implements automated API expense monitoring and revenue 
          reporting to inform executive decision-making. This fulfills the internal 
          operations requirement and excludes all client-facing features.
