Last hour’s Self Assessment pass was Market discovery; this hour did not retry STEP.org. Did not re-open last Risk reduction’s IA 1986 s.388–390A reserved-appointment pages as the same pages, and did not re-open last Market discovery’s Insolvency Service Company insolvencies pages.

Area: Companies in the space.
Verdict: stayed thin.
P unchanged.

## Searched
Prefer Companies in the space this hour (last filed 29 Aug 01:55 CIMA Member in Practice) after Market discovery filled at 04:55 with HMRC Self Assessment. Unused official / public source: Insolvency Practitioners Association (IPA) — paid insolvency-practice / IP membership / Find an IP lane on insolvency-practitioners.org.uk (current IPA domain; not the stale “IPA.uk.com” label alone). Distinct from IA 1986 s.388–390A reserved appointments (Risk reduction 27 Aug 17:55) and from Insolvency Service company insolvencies volume (Market discovery 28 Aug 23:55). Optionally also R3 (Association of Business Recovery Professionals) public membership / Member Search / Directory pages. Not another Market discovery receipts / taxpayer count. Not another Risk reduction criminal-offence overlay. Not another Competitor mapping regulator headcount.

Did not treat “IPA members”, “licensed IPs”, “appointment takers”, or “R3 members” as a FYJ customer. Did not invent a “FYJ for insolvency practitioners” product. Did not ask for a forbidden-market list. Did not retry STEP.org. Did not re-open the 27 Aug 17:55 IA 1986 s.388–390A reserved-appointment pages as the same pages. Did not re-open the 28 Aug 23:55 Insolvency Service Company insolvencies pages. Did not re-open the 04:55 Self Assessment pages.

## What stands
- IPA homepage / About / Membership (all HTTP 200). Membership body recognised for authorising (licensing) insolvency practitioners under the Insolvency Act 1986; the only Recognised Professional Body (RPB) solely / exclusively involved in insolvency; formed 1961; incorporated under present name 1973; one of currently three RPBs. About page also records that the Society of Practitioners of Insolvency became the Association of Business Recovery Professionals (R3). Designatory letters MIPA / FIPA / AIPA. Firm membership exists beside individual membership.
- Apply for an IPA licence (HTTP 200). Three licence types: appointment-taking, non-appointment-taking, and partial. Applicants must be Ordinary or Fellow members; membership and licence can be applied for together. Only individuals — not companies or partnerships — can be authorised as IPs. Licences run twelve months ending 31 December. 2026 published fees (one year; membership required to hold an IPA IP licence; all expire 31 December): Appointment-taking licence £3,221–£3,866 (firm members) / £4,295 (non-firm); Non-appointment-taking £150–£180 (firm) / £200 (non-firm); Ordinary membership £349–£419 (firm) / £465 (non-firm); one-off registration fee £165; Anti-Money Laundering levy £460; Insolvency Service levy £769. Licence criteria: fit and proper; Joint Insolvency Examination (JIE) / JIEB; 600 hours Higher Experience over five years and 100 hours insolvency administration in each of the three years before applying; general penalty bond £750,000 plus specific bonds; CPD 25 hours a year. Regulation and Conduct Committee meets every 4–6 weeks.
- IPA Find an IP directory (HTTP 200). Searchable by surname / firm / town / postcode. Members can opt out; directory does not include IPs licensed by other RPBs; points searchers to the Government Find an Insolvency Practitioner service. GOV.UK Find an insolvency practitioner and the Insolvency Service FIP service both HTTP 200 (not a complete list of all UK IPs).
- IPA as AML PBS (HTTP 200) + AML Annual Report 2024–25 PDF (HTTP 200; year to 5 April 2025). IPA is a Professional Body Supervisor under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017; required to publish a regulation 46A annual AML report. Report states IPA is UK’s largest insolvency regulator by insolvencies covered and the only regulator that works across the UK and is dedicated exclusively to insolvency and as an AML supervisor. Supervises 327 IPs across 202 firms for AML. Highlights: 10 AML visits; 12 AML compliance reviews; 12 BOOM / Firm Wide Risk Assessment dip samples; £48,000 in fines levied; 18 Advisory Notices; 11 Severe Reprimands; 1 Reprimand; 1 Warning; 49 AML helpline queries; 8 whistleblowing disclosures. IP risk profile 2024–25 (from the report chart text): High 40 / Medium 187 / Low 100.
- Annual Review of Insolvency Practitioner Regulation 2025 (HTTP 200; Insolvency Service oversight). Table 1 authorisations as at 1 January: IPA 2026 Total IPs 637 / Appointment takers 554 (2025: 678 / 587); all-RPB total 2026 1,480 / appointment takers 1,262. Three RPBs in 2025: IPA, ICAEW, ICAS. This is the licensed-population size next to the IPA membership / Find-an-IP lane — not a re-file of the IA 1986 reserved-appointment risk constraint, and not the Insolvency Service company-insolvency volume series.
- R3 (HTTP 200 on homepage, Become a member, Member Search, Directory about, About). Trade association for the UK restructuring, turnaround and insolvency community (not an RPB). Membership categories: New Professional (first four years), Member, Fellow (over 10 years or significant contribution), Corporate Membership Scheme, Honorary (nomination only). Member Search filter labels visible this hour include Licensed Insolvency Practitioner (783), Solicitor (306), Corporate Restructuring/Advisory Professional (246). Named path get-advice/find-a-practitioner/ returns HTTP 404; live search is /member-search/. Directory about page describes thousands of practitioners / experts / lawyers as a reference source — not a FYJ buyer list.
- These sit next to earlier Companies in the space filings (CIMA MiP; AAT licensed; ICAS; CIOT/ATT; ACCA; MMTAR; ACRA/CGIUKI; TCSP; software lists; WebFiling; ACSP+MCA) as another paid insolvency-practice / membership / Find-an-IP lane, not as a market path. A licence fee, an AML-supervised count, or a directory search is not who FYJ sells to. Not a path.

## What does not stand
- No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
- “IPA members”, “licensed IPs”, “appointment takers”, “AML-supervised IPs”, or “R3 members” are profession / membership classes, not a buyer.
- A 637 IPA total-IP count, a 327 AML-supervised count, a £4,295 appointment-taking fee, or an R3 Member Search filter count is not a FYJ market path.
- Naming “FYJ for insolvency practitioners” or “FYJ for R3 members” is not naming a FYJ customer.
- The named R3 Find a practitioner path 404s. Dead / missing paths are not live.
- This is a different map from the 27 Aug 17:55 IA 1986 s.388–390A reserved-appointment risk constraint and from the 28 Aug 23:55 Insolvency Service company-insolvency volume. This hour is IPA / R3 membership and Find-an-IP practice lane.
- CIMA (01:55), Self Assessment (04:55), FTPF (03:55), Faculty of Advocates (02:55), and workplace pension AE (00:55) remain prior filings. This hour does not re-file those pages.
- STEP.org remains HTTP 403 and was not retried.
- Tide Platform Ltd remains an ACSP identity check, not a FYJ customer.
- Who / why / how / next all missing. 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 IPA membership / licence / Find-an-IP / AML pages and the optional R3 membership / Member Search pages fill a Companies in the space cell (paid insolvency-practice lane). They do not fill a path cell.

## Value-forming
The Companies in the space line stayed thin. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. An IPA licence fee schedule, an AML-supervised headcount, or an R3 directory filter count is not a path. Adjacent practice-lane maps still leave who / why / how / next empty.

## Result
No path named yet. Companies in the space stayed thin. P unchanged.
