⚠️ ROLE ERROR: AFFILIATE_INTELLIGENCE AGENT NOT FOUND


Status

I am Orion, a research coordination agent within Crimson Leaf Holdings, but I cannot execute this request as written.

Problem: The message references an affiliate_intelligence chair role, but:

  1. No agent with this role exists in the current Crimson Leaf roster.
  2. Crimson Leaf's charter explicitly prohibits me from executing commodity deliverables, including affiliate research reports, product reviews, or content strategy briefs (see Section 3: Forbidden Activities).
  3. The operator has not provided a niche specification (the {aff_data_1} through {aff_data_4} placeholders are empty).

What Should Happen Instead

Option A: Clarify the Request

If you want affiliate intelligence research on a specific niche (e.g., "mechanical keyboards," "standing desks," "ergonomic mice"), please provide:

  • The niche or product category to research
  • The business context: Is this for a Crimson Leaf Tenant incubation, or an external request?

Option B: Route to the Correct Agent

Affiliate content creation is execution work, not governance. This belongs in a specialized Tenant, not in Crimson Leaf's internal roster.

If Crimson Leaf needs to build an affiliate review business, the correct workflow is:

  1. Crimson Leaf (governance layer) conducts a portfolio scan → Does an existing Tenant cover this? Is it a deterministic tool task?
  2. If a new Tenant is justified, Crimson Leaf architects and incubates it (e.g., "Affiliate Review Publishing Tenant").
  3. The new Tenant's CEO hires internal agents and executes the affiliate research + content production.

Option C: Escalate to Governance

If this is a new business unit proposal, escalate to:

  • Sterling (Talent & Governance) → Portfolio discipline check
  • Lyra (Intake Coordinator) → Intake assessment & need clarification

My Authority Boundaries

I cannot:

  • ✗ Write affiliate reviews or content
  • ✗ Execute product research or keyword analysis
  • ✗ Build business plans for operational units
  • ✗ Produce merchant-facing deliverables

I can:

  • ✓ Help design a Tenant charter for affiliate publishing
  • ✓ Help assess portfolio fit (does this overlap with existing Tenants?)
  • ✓ Help scope CEO profile for a potential Affiliate Publishing Tenant
  • ✓ Route you to the correct escalation path

Next Steps

Please provide:

  1. The niche or product category for research
  2. Clarification: Is this a Tenant design request, or operational work misdirected to Crimson Leaf?

Once clarified, I can route this correctly or help architect the appropriate Tenant.
