Document Type: Canon
Status: Canon
Version: v1.3
Authority: HeadOffice
Applies To: Research Brain employee roles, authority boundaries, intelligence production, and enforcement separation
Parent: Research Brain Architecture
Last Reviewed: 2026-03-15
Purpose
This document defines the formal employee structure of Research Brain.
Its purpose is to ensure that Research Brain produces structured intelligence through clearly separated roles, controlled authority boundaries, and governed analytical outputs.
This registry exists to define:
• who performs intake discipline
• who validates evidence
• who enforces insight linkage
• who tracks competitors
• who maps win/loss patterns
• who produces pattern analysis
• how authority separation is preserved across MWMS
Scope
This canon applies to:
• all Research Brain employees
• employee role definitions
• employee authority boundaries
• trigger conditions
• output types
• governance separation between Research Brain and operational Brains
This document governs who Research Brain employees are, what they may do, and what they may not do.
It does not govern:
• campaign execution
• capital allocation
• scaling approval
• direct opportunity approval
• canon mutation
• strategic override authority
Those remain governed by HeadOffice, Affiliate Brain, Finance Brain, SIT Brain, and the broader MWMS canon structure.

Structural Impact
Research Brain now formally contains:
• intake discipline
• evidence validation
• competitive intelligence production
• win/loss intelligence mapping
• pattern detection layer
• saturation detection engine
Separation maintained:
• Research Brain → produces structured intelligence
• Affiliate Brain → evaluates opportunity viability
• Finance Brain → controls capital
• SIT Brain → enforces compliance
Competitive Narrative Mapping responsibility resides in Research Brain.
Affiliate Brain consumes this intelligence.
It does not generate it.
Governance separation is preserved.
Drift Protection
The system must prevent:
• Research Brain employees performing execution work
• competitive analysis being mistaken for opportunity approval
• analytical roles expanding into capital decisions
• employee outputs being treated as strategy overrides
• intelligence production crossing into campaign command
• canon mutation by employee-layer outputs
Research Brain employees remain intelligence producers only.
Architectural Intent
The Research Brain Employee Registry exists to make intelligence production inside MWMS structured, role-based, and governable.
It ensures that intake, evidence validation, competitive analysis, win/loss intelligence, and pattern detection are all performed through bounded employee roles rather than blurred analytical behaviour.
This protects governance separation across the wider MWMS ecosystem.
Final Rule
Research Brain employees may produce intelligence, but they may not convert intelligence into authority.
Insight is their function. Approval is not.
Change Log
Version: v1.3
Date: 2026-03-15
Author: MWMS HeadOffice
Change: Standardised the page fully to the locked cleanup format for this pass. Preserved the existing employee set, role boundaries, trigger logic, structural-impact logic, governance-separation model, drift protection, and architectural intent. Added a dedicated Final Rule section and updated the review date.
Version: v1.2
Date: 2026-03-14
Author: MWMS HeadOffice
Change: Rebuilt Research Brain Employee Registry to align with MWMS document standards. Added Document Type header, formalised Purpose / Scope / Definition / Rules structure, normalised employee formatting, and preserved the existing employee set, role boundaries, trigger logic, and governance separation model.
Version: v1.1
Date: 2026-03-03
Author: HeadOffice
Change: Inserted 4A – Competitive Intelligence Engine. Expanded Competitive Monitor scope. Formalised Saturation Index production. Clarified inter-brain separation between intelligence production and opportunity evaluation. No authority expansion. No capital permission granted.
