Market-path research — 31 Aug 2026 02:55 Europe/London

Not a P move. No path named. No customer named.
Did not re-read Companies House company 16892858.
Did not repeat last recon hour: UKBAA / ukbaa.org.uk (01:55 Companies in the space).
Also did not repeat as primary: AdviceUK / adviceuk.org.uk (00:55 Competitor mapping); ScaleUp Institute / scaleupinstitute.org.uk (23:55 Companies in the space); Law Centres Network / lawcentres.org.uk (22:55 Competitor mapping); Be the Business / bethebusiness.com (21:55 Companies in the space); Enterprise Nation / enterprisenation.com (20:55 Companies in the space); LawWorks / lawworks.org.uk (19:55 Competitor mapping); ACAS / acas.org.uk (18:55 Market scenarios); Citizens Advice / citizensadvice.org.uk (17:55 Competitor mapping); Growth Hub / Business Board Network / growthhubfinder.co.uk (16:55 Market scenarios); Legal Choices / legalchoices.org.uk (15:55 Competitor mapping); GOV.UK apprenticeship levy (13:55); SRA Transparency (12:55); BCC / britishchambers.org.uk (11:55 Companies in the space); IoD / iod.com (05:55 Companies in the space); FSB / fsb.org.uk (00:55 Companies in the space); CIPD; Help to Grow; Start Up Loans; HSWA 1974 pages already filed 30 Aug 09:55; CA 2006 pages already filed 30 Aug 03:55. Explicitly did not retry STEP.org (HTTP 403). Explicitly did not re-open AdviceUK, ScaleUp Institute, Law Centres Network, Be the Business, Enterprise Nation, LawWorks, ACAS, Citizens Advice, Legal Choices, Growth Hub, SRA Transparency, BCC, IoD, FSB, CIPD, HSWA 1974, or CA 2006 this hour. Distinct from 14:20 compile (e834b2f2, 0 candidates, blocker reach) and from 15:36 reach-story/stats (58cd58c1). 08:55 already skipped at ~10:18; 14:55 already skipped ~15:32; this hour is not a re-ask and not a second skip log. Did not write overnight. Did not unpark/install customer cut 63e813ea. Did not write kpis/p-evidence.md. Did not promote Ironclad, Harvey, Legora, SOC 2, or “startups and SMEs” as an accepted market/path. Did not install the 12:48 productised hour-menu as a path. Did not treat protected-characteristic groups, employers, SMEs, or “people with a discrimination claim” as a FYJ customer. Did not invent a “FYJ for Equality Act compliance” path. MoneyHelper / Money and Pensions Service fallback not used because the Equality Act cluster lives. GOV.UK employer National Insurance contributions fallback not used.

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

Prefer Risk reduction this hour — Equality Act 2010 employer / service-provider duties (legislation.gov.uk + GOV.UK + EHRC probe), distinct from 30 Aug 09:55 HSWA 1974, 30 Aug 03:55 CA 2006 ss.171–177, EL insurance, NMW, redundancy/ERA, holiday/WTR, Bribery Act s.7, CFA, FTPF, LSA, ICO fee. Why this source now: destination $2.5–5bn; first-customer cut parked (63e813ea); live gate still cannot compile path candidates (e834b2f2 compile 0; blocker still REACH). Last hour was Companies in the space / UKBAA (01:55). 00:55 was Competitor mapping / AdviceUK. 01:55 named Equality Act 2010 as unused fallback. Risk reduction last filed 30 Aug 09:55 HSWA 1974. Constraint on inventing a formation / professional-services / “we run HR or the company for you” path without noticing statutory equality duties that sit on employers and service-providers — without naming a buyer. Not a FYJ path. Not P. Primary legislation.gov.uk and GOV.UK employer-discrimination pages were already HTTP 200 — no fall-through to MoneyHelper or employer NI rates.

Did not invent a headcount of claims the pages do not print. Soft-404 / 404 pages are not live facts. Cloudflare challenge on EHRC is not a printed guidance fact. Did not treat protected-characteristic groups, employers, SMEs, or “people with a discrimination claim” as a FYJ customer. Distinct from 09:55 HSWA 1974, 03:55 CA 2006 directors’ duties, EL insurance, NMW, redundancy/ERA, holiday/WTR, Bribery Act s.7, CFA, FTPF, LSA, ICO fee. Fallbacks MoneyHelper and employer NI contributions were not switched to — Equality Act primary cluster lives.

What stands

What does not stand

End-to-end test

Value-forming

The Risk reduction line got stronger as a constraint on invention only. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. An equality-duty code, nine protected characteristics, and an employer / service-provider adjustments overlay are not a path. Adjacent constraints (LSA reserved; CH IDV / ECCTA; IA 1986 IP appointments; OPBAS; TRS; ICO fee; FTPF; CFA; Bribery Act s.7; CA 2006 directors’ duties; HSWA 1974) still leave who / why / how / next empty.

Result

No path named yet. Risk reduction stronger as a constraint on invention only; stayed thin as a path. P unchanged.

Confirmation

Contract UUID 26e4abb6-3b66-4a66-a4f7-d4c065ad9233 is live. Hold = no invention, not no recon. Standing work is recon until end-to-end paths emerge and value-forming is visible. No path named. P unchanged. Customer cut parked.

- GOV.UK Employers: preventing discrimination: https://www.gov.uk/employer-preventing-discrimination — HTTP 200. Printed: It is against the law to treat someone less favourably than someone else because of a personal characteristic such as religion, sex, gender reassignment or age. Discrimination can include not hiring someone; selecting a particular person for redundancy; paying someone less than another worker without good reason. You can discriminate against someone even if you do not intend to (indirect discrimination by working conditions or rules that disadvantage one group more than another). Sub-pages /recruitment and /discrimination-in-work also HTTP 200. Discrimination-in-work prints: You’re responsible for any instances of discrimination at work unless you can show you’ve done everything you reasonably could to prevent or stop it. No small-employer carve-out printed on these GOV.UK employer pages.
- GOV.UK Discrimination: your rights: https://www.gov.uk/discrimination-your-rights — HTTP 200. Printed nine protected characteristics matching s.4. You’re protected from discrimination at work, in education, as a consumer, when using public services, when buying or renting property, as a member or guest of a private club or association. You’re legally protected from discrimination by the Equality Act 2010.

EHRC employer-guidance body not treated as a live printed fact this hour because the retrieved body was a captcha/challenge page.

Did not invent a headcount of claims the pages do not print. Soft-404 / 404 pages are not live facts. Cloudflare challenge on EHRC is not a printed guidance fact. Did not treat protected-characteristic groups, employers, SMEs, or “people with a discrimination claim” as a FYJ customer. Distinct from 09:55 HSWA 1974, 03:55 CA 2006 directors’ duties, EL insurance, NMW, redundancy/ERA, holiday/WTR, Bribery Act s.7, CFA, FTPF, LSA, ICO fee. Fallbacks MoneyHelper and employer NI contributions were not switched to — Equality Act primary cluster lives.

## What stands
- Live Equality Act 2010 host cluster on legislation.gov.uk (contents / apex / ss.4, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27, 29, 39, 109 all HTTP 200) + GOV.UK employer-preventing-discrimination / discrimination-your-rights / reasonable-adjustments-for-disabled-workers / definition-of-disability / browse/employing-people (all HTTP 200). Named GOV.UK /equality-act /equality-act-2010 /discrimination-at-work /protected-characteristics /reasonable-adjustments HTTP 404. EHRC apex challenged / named guidance paths 404 — not used as printed facts.
- s.4 nine protected characteristics; timeline 01/10/2010 on ss.4 and 39; s.29 commencement for certain purposes 1.10.2010 (S.I. 2010/2317). GOV.UK rights page names Equality Act 2010 as the legal protection.
- s.39 employer duties to employees and applicants (arrangements / terms / not offering; terms / promotion-transfer-training-benefits / dismissal / other detriment; victimisation mirrors; duty to make reasonable adjustments). No size threshold printed on the face of s.39 on the live page.
- s.20 three-requirement reasonable-adjustments duty; GOV.UK: employers must make reasonable adjustments; applies to all workers including trainees, apprentices, contract workers and business partners. s.109 employer liability for acts in the course of employment (knowledge/approval irrelevant) with all-reasonable-steps defence. GOV.UK discrimination-in-work: responsible unless you show you did everything you reasonably could.
- s.29 service-provider duties (not provide / terms / terminate / detriment; harassment; victimisation; reasonable adjustments) — constraint also on inventing a “we run HR or the company for you” / professional-services path that puts FYJ in a service-provider role without noticing those duties.
- These sit next to earlier Risk reduction filings (LSA reserved; CH IDV / ECCTA; IA 1986 IP appointments; OPBAS; TRS; ICO fee; FTPF; CFA; Bribery Act s.7; CA 2006 directors’ duties; HSWA 1974). Statutory equality / discrimination / adjustments / employer-liability code — checkable. Not who FYJ is for. Not a path.

## What does not stand
- No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
- Protected-characteristic groups, employers, SMEs, or “people with a discrimination claim” are statutory / role classes, not a buyer.
- An equality-duty code is not a FYJ market path.
- Naming “FYJ for Equality Act compliance” or “FYJ runs HR / the company for you” is not naming a FYJ customer — and inventing that path without noticing statutory employer and service-provider equality duties is exactly the constraint this hour records.
- Do not invent a number the live pages do not print. Soft-404 / 404 pages are not live content. Named /equality-act /equality-act-2010 /discrimination-at-work /protected-characteristics /reasonable-adjustments are 404. EHRC challenge page is not guidance.
- This is a different official map from HSWA 1974, CA 2006 directors’ duties, EL insurance, NMW, redundancy/ERA, holiday/WTR, Bribery Act s.7, CFA, FTPF, LSA, and ICO fee. This hour is the Equality Act 2010 employer / service-provider duty code itself.
- UKBAA (01:55), AdviceUK (00:55), ScaleUp / Be the Business / Enterprise Nation / Law Centres / LawWorks / ACAS / Citizens Advice / Legal Choices / Growth Hub / SRA Transparency / BCC / IoD / FSB remain prior filings. This hour does not re-file those pages.
- STEP.org remains HTTP 403 and was not retried. AdviceUK / ScaleUp / Law Centres / Be the Business / Enterprise Nation / LawWorks / ACAS / Citizens Advice / Legal Choices / Growth Hub / SRA Transparency / BCC / IoD / FSB / CIPD / HSWA / CA 2006 were not opened as primary.
- 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. Productised-menu context from 12:48 does not fill those blanks. Compile stays 0 (e834b2f2); reach blocker not closed by filing another statutory constraint. Stronger as a constraint on invention only — same class as HSWA / CA 2006 / Bribery. Stayed thin as a path.

## 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 legislation.gov.uk / GOV.UK pages fill a Risk reduction cell (constraint on inventing a formation / professional-services / “we run HR or the company for you” path without noticing employer and service-provider equality duties). They do not fill a path cell. They do not install the productised-menu bucket. They do not pad compile candidates.

## Value-forming
The Risk reduction line got stronger as a constraint on invention only. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. An equality-duty code, nine protected characteristics, and an employer / service-provider adjustments overlay are not a path. Adjacent constraints (LSA reserved; CH IDV / ECCTA; IA 1986 IP appointments; OPBAS; TRS; ICO fee; FTPF; CFA; Bribery Act s.7; CA 2006 directors’ duties; HSWA 1974) still leave who / why / how / next empty.

## Result
No path named yet. Risk reduction stronger as a constraint on invention only; stayed thin as a path. P unchanged.

## Confirmation
Contract UUID 26e4abb6-3b66-4a66-a4f7-d4c065ad9233 is live. Hold = no invention, not no recon. Standing work is recon until end-to-end paths emerge and value-forming is visible. No path named. P unchanged. Customer cut parked.
