Market-path research — 27 Aug 2026 17:55 Europe/London

Not a P move. No path named. No customer named.
Did not re-read Companies House company 16892858.
Did not repeat last hour: Companies House blog DIY One Login vs ACSP; ACSP consent CSV 2,183 / over 10,000 registered; GOV.UK set-up-business; closing-a-limited-company / strike-off / find-an-insolvency-practitioner / MVL.
Also did not repeat: BSB Diversity at the Bar 2025; ONS Business demography 2024; HMRC TCSP 1,553; IPReg 3,690/269; GOV.UK accounts software 35/44; CILEx ~17k/7810; LSB £52.3bn; CLC Q1 2026; SRA population; CH register FYE 2026; CH/ECCTA IDV as risk constraint (03:55); CH DIY/WebFiling (02:55); Oxford 2020 SeedLegals; GOV.UK setup class map (00:55); LSA reserved; Law Society+ICAEW; ACSP+MCA companies-in-space (22:22); ONS M/N size; SIC neighbours.

Area: Risk reduction.
Verdict: stronger (as a constraint on invention only).
P unchanged.

Searched

One unused official constraint on the closing fork last hour mapped as a scenario: who may act as an insolvency practitioner. Preferred Risk reduction this hour (last filed 03:55) after Market scenarios filled at 16:55. Not another regulator headcount as competitor mapping. Not the 16:55 find-an-IP / closing-company pages. Not IDV as the same risk page.

Did not open the 16:55 find-an-insolvency-practitioner, closing-a-limited-company, strike-off, or MVL pages again. Did not treat IPA / ICAEW / ICAS authorised individuals as a FYJ customer. Did not ask for a forbidden-market list.

What stands

s.388 (fetched this hour; latest available, up to date with changes known to be in force on or before 27 August 2026): a person acts as an insolvency practitioner in relation to a company by acting as its liquidator, provisional liquidator, administrator, administrative receiver or monitor, or as nominee or supervisor of a voluntary arrangement. Individual and partnership equivalents sit on the same section. Official receiver / Accountant in Bankruptcy excepted. HTTP 200.
s.389 (fetched this hour; same currency note): a person who acts as an insolvency practitioner when not qualified is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both. Official receiver / Accountant in Bankruptcy excepted. HTTP 200.
s.390 (fetched this hour): only an individual can be qualified; must be appropriately authorised under s.390A; must have security (caution in Scotland) meeting the prescribed requirements; not qualified if bankrupt / DRO / CDDA disqualification / specified capacity grounds. HTTP 200.
s.390A (fetched this hour): full or partial authorisation by membership of a professional body recognised under s.391 (or NI DETI authorisation). HTTP 200.
Annual Review 2025 (fetched this hour; published 7 July 2026): three Recognised Professional Bodies in 2025 — IPA, ICAEW, ICAS. Insolvency Service is oversight regulator for the Secretary of State. Table 1 as at 1 January 2026: 1,480 authorised IPs (IPA 637, ICAEW 777, ICAS 66); 1,262 appointment-takers (554 / 655 / 53). HTTP 200.
Oversight-regulator page and Regulated Professions Register (fetched this hour): same three RPBs; Insolvency Service is the oversight body. HTTP 200.

What does not stand

A reserved-appointment constraint is not a FYJ market path.
Naming “insolvency practitioner” or “IA 1986 s.388–390A” is not naming who FYJ is for, why they would pay, how FYJ reaches them, or what sits next.
1,480 authorised IPs / 1,262 appointment-takers is regulator-space size next to the constraint, not who FYJ sells to.
This hour does not invent a “we sit between DIY strike-off and licensed IPs” product.
This is a different constraint from Legal Services Act reserved legal activities (authorised legal practice) and from Companies House identity verification (who may set up, run, or control a company). This hour is who may take a formal insolvency appointment on the closing fork.
Tide Platform Ltd remains an ACSP identity check, not a FYJ customer.
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 IA 1986 qualification fact fills a risk constraint on the closing fork last hour mapped as a scenario. It does not fill a path cell.

Value-forming

The Risk reduction line got stronger as a third filed constraint: inventing a path that takes liquidator / administrator / nominee / supervisor appointments without RPB authorisation would be an offence under s.389. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A headcount of 1,480 IPs is not a path.

Result

No path named yet. Risk reduction got stronger as a constraint on invention. P unchanged.
