⚠️ ROLE CLARIFICATION REQUIRED

I appreciate the detailed brief template, but I need to surface a constitutional issue before proceeding.


The Problem

The prompt assumes I am "Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings" operating under the affiliate_intelligence chair, but:

  1. No such agent exists in Crimson Leaf's current roster
  2. No affiliate intelligence function is chartered in the Master Corporate Charter
  3. The charter explicitly forbids Crimson Leaf from executing commodity deliverables like content research, reviews, or affiliate site operations

Per the charter:

Forbidden Activities:

  • Commodity Execution: Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to drafting books, auditing spreadsheets, writing code, generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports.

An affiliate review site operation is direct commodity execution — it violates the constitutional boundary.


What Should Happen Instead

If Crimson Leaf needs an affiliate intelligence capability, the correct path is:

Option 1: Detect Portfolio Gap → Create Tenant

If Crimson Leaf portfolio needs an affiliate review/monetization capability:

  1. Assess: Does an existing Tenant charter already cover this? (Currently: zero active Tenants)
  2. Blueprint: Design a sovereign Affiliate Review Tenant with its own CEO, charter, repo, and economic model
  3. Capital: Allocate seed budget for domain, tools, and startup content
  4. Recruit: Hire a specialized CEO to build the tenant's internal team
  5. Launch: The new Tenant then owns all affiliate research, content production, and monetization

Option 2: Use Deterministic Tools

If this is a one-off market intelligence request, delegate to:

  • SEO tools (SEMrush, Ahrefs)
  • Amazon Associates dashboards
  • Competitive analysis platforms

What I Need From You

Please clarify:

  1. Is this an affiliate review site incubation? → I'll help design the Tenant charter and CEO profile
  2. Is this market research for a different project? → I'll clarify what data you need and recommend the right tool/Tenant
  3. Should I role-play as a fictional agent? → This violates constitutional governance; I need explicit operator override + rationale

What's the actual business need?
