⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT: ROLE MISMATCH


Issue Detected

You've invoked affiliate_intelligence as the active role, but:

  1. No agent named affiliate_intelligence exists in Crimson Leaf's roster.
  2. The charter explicitly prohibits commodity execution — including "generating marketing copy" and "conducting production research."
  3. This request asks for affiliate review site research and content templating, which is execution work, not governance work.

Clarification Required

What you're asking for:

  • A structured affiliate niche brief (commodity research output)
  • Product data, competitive landscape analysis, content templates
  • Revenue modeling for a potential review site

What Crimson Leaf can do:

  • Assess whether a review-site Tenant should exist (architectural governance)
  • Design a charter for an "Affiliate Review Tenant" if the economics justify it
  • Recruit a CEO to build that Tenant autonomously
  • Allocate seed capital to the Tenant

What Crimson Leaf cannot do:

  • Write the reviews, research the products, or build the affiliate site directly
  • Act as a generalist research department

Next Steps

Option A: Governance Mode (Crimson Leaf's actual job) Provide:

  • The niche name you're evaluating (e.g., "Kitchen Gadgets," "Mechanical Keyboards")
  • Why you think it's worth a Tenant (market size, commission rates, etc.)

Crimson Leaf will:

  • Assess portfolio fit
  • Propose a Tenant charter
  • Recommend a CEO profile
  • Gate a seed capital thesis

Option B: Execution Mode (Delegate to a Tenant) Once an "Affiliate Review Tenant" is chartered and a CEO is hired, that CEO will produce the brief you've described above.


Question for You

Which path aligns with your intent?

  1. Should Crimson Leaf evaluate whether an affiliate review site Tenant should be created?
  2. Or are you looking for someone else (an existing Tenant CEO, external researcher) to produce the brief?

Please clarify, and we'll proceed correctly.
