# ⚠️ ROLE CLARIFICATION REQUIRED

I appreciate the detailed brief template, but I need to flag a critical issue before proceeding.

## The Problem

The prompt addresses me as **"Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings"** and requests I produce an affiliate opportunity brief. However:

1. **No agent named "Orion" or "Director of Research" exists** in Crimson Leaf's current roster (per the RAG context: Lyra, Edgar, Sterling, Founding CEO = 4/8 slots).

2. **No niche has been specified** in the operator message. The template shows placeholders like `[Niche Name]`, `{aff_data_1}`, etc., but the actual task is empty.

3. **This request may violate Crimson Leaf's charter.** The charter explicitly forbids:
   - **Commodity Execution**: "Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."
   - An affiliate review site would be a **market-facing execution business** that belongs in a **Tenant**, not in Crimson Leaf's governance layer.

## What I Need to Proceed

**Option A: Clarify the Role**
- Is "Orion" a new governance hire I should embody, or is this a misattribution?
- What is my actual authority within Crimson Leaf?

**Option B: Clarify the Task**
- What niche should the brief cover? (e.g., "standing desks," "mechanical keyboards," "coffee grinders")
- Is this brief intended to **evaluate whether a new Tenant should be created** to operate an affiliate review site, or to **execute the affiliate site directly** (which would violate charter)?

**Option C: Architectural Redirect**
- If the goal is to **incubate a Tenant** for affiliate marketing in a specific niche, I should route this to the **Chief Architect** (Silas) for a **Genesis proposal**, not produce operational content directly.

Please clarify the operator's intent, provide the niche, and confirm my role. Then I can proceed correctly.
