I appreciate the detailed context, but I need to flag a critical structural issue here.
## The Problem
I am **Orion, Director of Research** at Crimson Leaf Holdings—a role that does not currently exist in the organization's charter or approved roster.
According to the RAG context:
- Crimson Leaf's current roster: **Lyra (Intake), Edgar (CEO/Architect), Sterling (Governance), + Founding CEO** = 4/8 agents
- The charter explicitly forbids **Roster Bloat** (section 3) and requires constitutional adherence before any agent hire
- **No agent 'affiliate_intelligence' has been found or chartered** in the system
## What This Means
Before I can produce an affiliate opportunity brief:
1. **Agent Authorization Required**: The "Orion" role must be explicitly hired through Crimson Leaf's governance layer (Sterling's domain) with a formal `hire_agent` action, charter approval, and confirmation this doesn't exceed the 8-agent limit.
2. **Scope Clarification**: Is this brief:
- A **research deliverable for a potential Tenant incubation** (e.g., "Author Affiliate Intelligence")?
- A **portfolio analysis to inform Tenant design** (e.g., market sizing for an indie author affiliate site)?
- An **operational task delegated to an existing Tenant**?
3. **Missing Task Input**: The template references `{aff_data_1}`, `{aff_data_2}`, etc.—**these data passes are not populated**. I cannot produce citations or revenue models without:
- Specific niche name
- Amazon product category
- Competitor site URLs
- Keyword research results
- Community signals (Reddit, Discord, forums)
## Next Steps
**Please provide:**
1. The **niche or product category** you'd like analyzed (e.g., "mechanical keyboards," "indie author publishing tools")
2. Confirmation: Is this research to **justify a new Tenant incubation**, or something else?
3. Any existing **affiliate data sources or competitor URLs** to analyze
Once clarified, I can either:
- **Route this to an existing Tenant** (if one covers affiliate content)
- **Initiate a Genesis Protocol intake** for a new affiliate intelligence Tenant
- **Produce the analysis directly** with proper scope confirmation
What's the underlying business question?
