Market-path research — 27 Aug 2026 00:55 Europe/London

Not a P move. No path named. No customer named.
Did not re-read Companies House company 16892858.
Did not repeat LSA reserved-activity / SRA / LSB pages, Law Society / ICAEW directories, GOV.UK ACSP, MCA pages, the 20:55 SIC CSV/ONS SIC PDF, or the 21:55 ONS business-counts bulletin.

Area: Market scenarios.
Verdict: stayed thin.
P unchanged.

Searched

One new public-source search: official GOV.UK pages that already place existing professional classes next to a founder in UK company setup and running — formation agent at incorporation, accountant while the company runs, tax agent for HMRC, solicitor / legal adviser for legal problems. Explicitly a map of public classes that already sit with / between / above each other. Not a FYJ offer and not a named path.

What stands

The director hub says you can incorporate yourself or pay a formation agent. Formation agent is an official class at the setup step, next to DIY founder registration.
The limited-company formation and running guides say directors can hire other people to help day-to-day (for example, an accountant) but remain legally responsible for records, accounts and performance.
HMRC’s “how to choose a tax agent” page treats a tax adviser or agent as an optional class that interacts with HMRC on the founder’s behalf.
GOV.UK “find legal advice” names a legal adviser, for example a solicitor, as the class you may need for specialist legal problems.
Taken together, the public pages already sit these classes in a journey order: founder DIY or formation agent at incorporation; accountant / tax agent while the company runs and deals with tax; solicitor / legal adviser when a legal problem appears. That is a scenario of existing public classes with / between / above each other. It is not who FYJ sells to.

What does not stand

A map of adjacent official lanes is not a FYJ market path.
Naming formation agent, accountant, tax agent, or solicitor is not naming who FYJ is for, why they would pay, how FYJ reaches them, or what sits next.
This hour does not invent a candidate, a customer, or a “we sit between accountant and solicitor” offer to fill the hour.
No candidate this hour has even a partial who / why / how. End-to-end stays missing.

End-to-end test

Who it is for: missing.
Why they would pay: missing.
How FYJ reaches them: missing.
What sits next: missing.
No real public fact this hour filled any of the four. Do not invent the rest. The GOV.UK class map fills a Market scenarios cell as adjacent lanes, not an end-to-end path cell.

Value-forming

Market scenarios is no longer a blank card: a checkable public map of existing classes is filed. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A map of adjacent lanes is not a path. Verdict stayed thin.

Result

No path named yet. Market scenarios stayed thin. P unchanged.
