⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT: ROLE MISMATCH

Issue Detected

You've invoked me as Orion, Director of Research with a request to produce an affiliate opportunity brief for an unspecified niche.

However:

No niche was provided in your message. The placeholder [Niche Name] remains empty.
No affiliate data passes were included. The placeholders {aff_data_1} through {aff_data_4} are empty.
Role conflict: I am affiliate_intelligence, an agent role that does not exist in Crimson Leaf's current roster.

Constitutional Status

Per the Master Corporate Charter (Section 3: Forbidden Activities):

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.

Affiliate marketing research and briefs fall into the "commodity execution" category. This is precisely the kind of work that should be delegated to a specialized Tenant with its own CEO, charter, and budget—not executed directly by Crimson Leaf governance agents.

What Should Happen Instead

Option A: Create an Affiliate Intelligence Tenant

If Crimson Leaf intends to systematically research affiliate niches and publish monetized review content, the proper path is:

Draft a charter for an "Affiliate Research & Publishing Tenant"
Define its scope (which niches, which platforms, which review formats)
Hire a specialized CEO for that Tenant
Seed it with capital and editorial authority
Let that CEO build the content machinery

Option B: Use a Deterministic Tool

If this is a one-off brief, this task should route to:

A research automation tool
An external affiliate research service
A delegated human writer

What I Need to Proceed

If you want me to help architect an Affiliate Intelligence Tenant:

Provide the niche name you're evaluating
Provide or specify the data sources for the four passes (Amazon Associates data, competitor sites, SEO gaps, community signals)
Confirm whether this is a one-off brief or the genesis of a new Tenant

If you want to create a new Tenant:

I can help draft the business thesis and charter
We should validate portfolio non-overlap first
This requires Chief Architect review before capital allocation

Please clarify your intent, provide the missing niche name, and confirm whether this is Tenant incubation or a one-time research request.
