Purpose
Research Brain Affiliate Opportunity Flow defines the standard routing structure used when Research Brain identifies an opportunity signal that may have commercial relevance requiring evaluation by Affiliate Brain.
This flow demonstrates how intelligence transitions into structured opportunity evaluation while maintaining governance discipline, statistical discipline, and capital protection visibility.
This page provides the first concrete applied example of MWMS cross-brain routing structure.
It acts as a reference model for future opportunity flows across the MWMS ecosystem.
Flow Overview
Research Brain identifies opportunity signal.
Affiliate Brain evaluates commercial viability.
Experimentation Brain validates testing structure suitability.
Finance Brain evaluates capital exposure readiness.
HeadOffice observes system posture.
Each Brain maintains defined authority boundaries.
Signal lineage remains traceable across the full decision pathway.
Flow Structure
Request Origin Brain
Research Brain
Destination Brain
Affiliate Brain
Request Type
Opportunity evaluation request
Signal Type
Opportunity signal
May include:
problem signal
behavioural signal
market inefficiency signal
mechanism signal
demand signal
Signal Confidence Level
Defined using Research Brain signal classification structure.
Typical states:
emerging signal
moderate confidence
strong signal
validated signal
Confidence classification informs Affiliate Brain evaluation posture.
Decision Requirement
Affiliate Brain evaluates:
commercial viability
offer compatibility
traffic suitability
mechanism clarity
market accessibility
competitive pressure
scaling feasibility
decision pathway clarity
Dependency Requirements
Opportunity must meet minimum structural clarity before progression.
Dependencies may include:
clear problem definition
identifiable demand indicator
observable behavioural evidence
potential traffic channel alignment
mechanism clarity sufficient for testing hypothesis
If dependencies are unclear, Affiliate Brain may request further Research signal enrichment.
Escalation Conditions
Escalation may occur when:
signal interpretation conflict exists
Research confidence remains insufficient
offer viability remains ambiguous
mechanism clarity insufficient for test design
market access constraints unclear
Escalation may route to:
Research Brain for signal strengthening
HeadOffice for structural interpretation guidance
Capital Sensitivity Flag
Typically set to:
no
Capital exposure not yet committed at this stage.
Capital visibility becomes relevant once testing readiness emerges.
Experiment Requirement Flag
Typically set to:
experiment required
Experimentation Brain validates whether the opportunity can be tested using structured methodology.
Lineage Reference
Research Brain
→ Affiliate Brain
→ Experimentation Brain
→ Finance Brain
→ HeadOffice
Lineage enables:
decision traceability
signal interpretation continuity
cross-brain governance visibility
future dashboard clarity
Brain Responsibilities
Research Brain
Identifies structured opportunity signals.
Ensures signal clarity sufficient for evaluation.
Provides behavioural or market evidence supporting opportunity existence.
Affiliate Brain
Evaluates opportunity viability.
Determines whether opportunity should progress to structured testing stage.
Interprets opportunity within commercial execution environment.
Experimentation Brain
Validates whether opportunity can be tested using structured methodology.
Ensures hypothesis clarity.
Ensures statistical discipline readiness.
Finance Brain
Observes capital sensitivity conditions once testing readiness emerges.
Ensures capital exposure remains aligned with survivability guardrails.
HeadOffice
Observes cross-brain flow coherence.
Maintains governance oversight of system movement.
Does not interfere with Brain-level authority unless escalation conditions require governance review.

Structural Integrity Rule
Opportunity signals must pass through governed interpretation layers before capital exposure decisions occur.
No Brain may bypass defined authority boundaries.
Signal lineage must remain visible.
Decision responsibility must remain clearly assigned.
Architectural Role
This flow represents the first applied example of MWMS connector architecture in action.
Future flows will extend this structure across additional Brain interactions including:
Affiliate Brain Experimentation Flow
Experimentation Brain Finance Flow
Research Brain Content Flow
Customer Brain Research Flow
Ads Brain Experimentation Flow
This page establishes the baseline lineage pattern for opportunity evaluation inside MWMS.
