[X] Give the order to have Sev'rance assassinated. She's too much of a liability for your future plans and she's certainly replaceable.
@Dr. Snark: I think this is the best written interlude scene so far.
I am thinking we want to unleash Ventress and Maul on Tann. Ciaran thrives on chaos, so let's cause chaos.
Also, my gut says that Palpatine will be forced to make war on the CNS eventually, or see all of his plans crumble. As such, I'd really like to position Ciaran to Naboo the CIS - she was instrumental to building much of it and many CNS members succeed from the CIS, so we've got plenty of "ins", but we'll really need to remove powerful opponents to a Nabooing effort ahead of time - so Dooku, Tann, Shu Mai and Watt Tabor will need to either be eliminated or undermined.

I have a far better sea then merely killing Tann: break her, humiliate her, then let Dooku deal with her. Or do the opposite, find a way to goad her into attempting to usurp Dooku. In all likelihood she'll fail, but it'd cause more chaos in the ranks then simply killing her, and would leave even less fingers pointed our way.
That's the problem with the Sith, they'll happily eat each other.

Maul is likely to expect a "quid pro quo" style thing from Ventress. He helps with Tann, she helps with Obi Wan. This could be trouble... although tbh we'd likely crit the roll anyhow. Also, in terms of CIS destabilization, we're likely to get a Wat Tambor related action available next turn, given that one of the results of the Cortosis mission was ascertaining his location. May not necessarily be assassination, but, well, it's possible.
But yeah, can't let Maul get bored and be left to his own devices.

It ultimately depends on what Dr. Snark wants to do with Maul's character.
Objectively speaking, introducing Maul to 'Darth Traya' (aka "one that holds knowledge of betrayal") would fit perfectly. Maul was betrayed (used and abandoned) by the Sith, specifically by Palpatine, so it's possible we could play on that to direct his efforts against Sidious. If this is possible, Asajj could introduce us via disguised holocron (so our identity would be kept secret) while offering our support for Maul to strike against Palpatine's Inner Circle (to ensure Maul doesn't go head-to-head vs. Palpatine directly).
On the other hand... Maul is smart (despite the obsession with revenge) and far too canny to make it risk-free. I'd be inclined to use him to strike against Dooku's Dark Acolytes instead. (Besides Sev'rance Tann, we could also direct his efforts against Nikkos Tyris, Sora Bulq, or one of the other lesser acolytes. Heck, we could even direct Maul against Quinlan Vos, as long as we have a way to warn Quinlan or help him fend Maul off. Supporting him against a threat not even the Jedi saw coming might be a good way to start the recruitment process for him...).
On the original hand... Maul may be scared of confronting Palpatine on his own, but perhaps he'd feel more confident with other Sith at his back? I'm wondering if it'd be possible for Maul to recruit Sev'rance Tann, rather than assassinate her. Thanks to her failure over Onderon and the loss of the Invisible Hand, Tann has certainly lost the favor of Dooku (and feels the sting of betrayal...) and might be willing to abandon ship for a more Sith-y Sith than her 'fallen Jedi' master Dooku.
I don't have a problem sending Maul against Sev'rance Tann. On the other hand, it does feel a bit like wasting Maul as an asset, if that makes sense...? Yes, he can do away with Tann, and stir up some chaos among the Sith, but we'd be treating Maul just like Sidious treated Maul: as a blunt instrument of violence, and nothing more. We know from the 'Clone Wars' series that Maul is far more capable than that. The question is, do the benefits of using that information outweigh the potential costs of giving Maul a leg-up?

We have a working relationship with them. We are a friend of the Hutts after all. Plus trying to take over the underworld would mean we would have to do shady activities. Stuff that could actually harm Ciaran's image. Which would put us in a very unstable position.

Honestly I don't think we'd really get any value out of trying to get Maul to maul someone that isn't Sev or Dooku, which is a shame as I'd love to force Palpatine to fight Maul and reveal through a 'conviently located camera liveholoing to the galaxy that he's a Sith' or something equally as over the top.
Best to either find out how best to use him against Sev and Dooku before cutting him loose.

Yeah, no. Maul doesn't really trust the Sith, and he'd definitely won't go near someone that "knowledge of betrayal" with starship-long pole, cause betrayal means he'll be betrayed cause that what those that betray usually do: betray. You got that?

It's the fact that I know just how far Maul can go when he isn't being treated like a blunt instrument that makes me treat him as a blunt instrument.
What was it Sidious said to him when they met again? "You have become a Rival?" Sure, he was probably exaggerating, but it still showcases that Maul when allowed free reign is dangerous.
We'll never have his loyalty, he's too fundamentally broken for that. All that's left is pointing him at the enemy and hoping he makes them bleed as he dies.

"Asajj, I may not be a very good Sith Lord. But that doesn't change the fact that I am a Sith Lord. The last time someone really pissed me off I choked him to death with the force while destroying his entire worldview. And I do try not to be a hypocrite. Get pissed at the universe. Rage, scream, make a list of those that hurt you and a plan to see them dead. And then go out and make things right. That's half the reason the Jedi's philosophy fails, because they would prevent you from doing that."

This seems like something a regular Sith would say.

And yet it is 100% factually true.
We are a Good Sith.
Both from a moral perspective as we have more morals than most Sith of the last few thousand years put together, and because when angered we show no mercy, we break our foes, we turn others to our cause and are willing to do anything if it will accomplish our goals.
On one hand, we are almost Jedi-like in how we treat our allies or those useful to us.
On the other, we are the very definition of a competent Sith to our enemies.
Also I wanted to make a Doctor Who reference, but I'm not sure how many would get it so I didn't.
Edit: Why not. We are a Good Sith in the same way that the Doctor is a good Dalek.
