Market-path research — 31 Aug 2026 03:55 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: Equality Act 2010 / legislation.gov.uk + GOV.UK employer-discrimination (02:55 Risk reduction).
Also did not repeat as primary: UKBAA / ukbaa.org.uk (01:55 Companies in the space); 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; CIPP; ICB; IPA; CIMA; AAT; ICAS; CIOT/ATT; ACCA; MMTAR; TPO; FOS; SDT; SLCC; LeO; Innovate UK; ONS BICS; BoE ASBC; BBB SBFM; PAYE RTI. Explicitly did not retry STEP.org (HTTP 403). Explicitly did not re-open Equality Act / legislation.gov.uk employer-discrimination, UKBAA, 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 MentorsMe’s printed SME / entrepreneur / startup-founder audience language, mentoring organisations, bank programmes, or GOV.UK “work with a mentor” readers as a FYJ customer. Did not invent a “FYJ for MentorsMe / business mentoring” path. British Library Business & IP Centre, Advocate / Bar Pro Bono Unit, MoneyHelper / Money and Pensions Service, Nesta, CBI, and GOV.UK employer National Insurance contributions fallbacks not used because the MentorsMe cluster lives.

Area: Market scenarios.
Verdict: stayed thin as a path.
P unchanged.

Searched

Prefer REACH this hour — MentorsMe / official how-founders-are-matched-to-mentors (mentorsme.co.uk → UK Finance host + GOV.UK growing-your-business mentor pointer), distinct from 30 Aug 18:55 ACAS employment-advice routing, 30 Aug 16:55 Growth Hub local-advice network, Start Up Loans, Help to Grow (as primary), and Enterprise Nation. 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 — how the first hour is sold). Last hour was Risk reduction / Equality Act 2010 (02:55). Market scenarios last filed 30 Aug 18:55 ACAS. Official mentor-match / mentoring-organisation directory fork that can be read without inventing a buyer. Not a FYJ path. Not P. MentorsMe primary cluster was already HTTP 200 — no fall-through to BL BIPC, Advocate, MoneyHelper, Nesta, CBI, or employer NI rates.

Did not invent a headcount of mentoring organisations, an annual join-limit number, or fees the pages do not print. Soft-404 / 404 pages are not live facts. MentorsMe’s printed SME / entrepreneur / startup-founder audience language is page text, not a FYJ buyer. Distinct from 18:55 ACAS, 16:55 Growth Hub, Start Up Loans, Help to Grow (as primary), Enterprise Nation. Fallbacks BL BIPC / Advocate / MoneyHelper / Nesta / CBI / employer NI were not switched to — MentorsMe primary cluster lives.

What stands

Live MentorsMe host cluster on ukfinance.org.uk/mentors-me (homepage / about-us / find-mentor / find-a-mentor-results / mentoring-programmes / about-us/join-mentors-me / about-us/mentorsme-faqs / about-us/contact-us / resources / resources/accessing-finance / resources/sources-business-advice / resources/resources-aspiring-mentors all HTTP 200) + mentorsme.co.uk 301 → that host + GOV.UK /growing-your-business/work-with-a-mentor HTTP 200 pointing founders to MentorsMe (and Wales Business mentoring). Named GOV.UK MentorsMe scheme/guidance paths HTTP 404. Several guessed MentorsMe path spellings HTTP 404; live paths use find-mentor / join-mentors-me / sources-business-advice forms.
Official how-founders-are-directed-to-a-mentor fork: GOV.UK growing-your-business → MentorsMe directory of verified mentoring organisations + bank/government programme list; join gated by SFEDI verification; free application; annual join limit (number not printed); no scheduling/payment by MentorsMe; direct outreach.
Search facets printed (life stage / geography / free-paid / face-to-face-virtual / business-type tags). First results page prints named organisation cards + Load More; National coverage filter printed No results found. Programme list includes Santander / Barclays / NatWest / Help to Grow: Management Course rows as MentorsMe listings.
These sit next to earlier Market scenarios filings (ACAS; Growth Hub; apprenticeship levy; right-to-work; redundancy/ERA; holiday/WTR; SSP/SMP; NMW; EL; workplace pensions; IR35; late filing; MTD; Help to Grow/GGS as prior forks; Innovate UK; confirmation/accounts; VAT/PAYE; Start Up Loans; DIY vs ACSP). MentorsMe is a mentor-match / mentoring-organisation directory reach channel — checkable. Not who FYJ is for. Not a path.

What does not stand

No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
MentorsMe’s SME / entrepreneur / startup-founder / freelancer audience language, mentoring organisations, bank programmes, and GOV.UK mentor readers are reach-channel roles, not a buyer.
A mentor-match directory is not a FYJ market path.
Naming “FYJ for MentorsMe / business mentoring” or treating MentorsMe SMEs as who pays us is inventing a customer — banned. Collision with founder-context.md: do not mint “startups and SMEs” as who; do not put Ironclad/Harvey on the map; productised-menu is a model not a path.
Do not invent a total mentoring-organisation headcount, join-limit number, or fee the live pages do not print. Soft-404 / 404 pages are not live content. Named GOV.UK /business-finance-support/mentorsme and related MentorsMe scheme paths are 404.
This is a different official map from ACAS employment-advice routing, Growth Hub local-advice network, Start Up Loans founder-finance, Help to Grow (as primary), and Enterprise Nation community. This hour is the MentorsMe mentor-match directory itself (with GOV.UK pointer).
Equality Act (02:55), 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. Equality Act / UKBAA / 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 mentor-match reach channel. 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 MentorsMe / GOV.UK mentor pages fill a Market scenarios cell (official how-founders-are-matched-to-mentors / mentoring-organisation directory reach channel). They do not fill a path cell. They do not install the productised-menu bucket. They do not pad compile candidates.

Value-forming

The Market scenarios line stayed thin. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A mentor-match directory, SFEDI verification gate, and GOV.UK pointer are not a path. Adjacent Market scenarios filings (ACAS; Growth Hub; running-the-company forks; Start Up Loans) still leave who / why / how / next empty.

Result

No path named yet. Market scenarios 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.

Did not invent a headcount of mentoring organisations, an annual join-limit number, or fees the pages do not print. Soft-404 / 404 pages are not live facts. MentorsMe’s printed SME / entrepreneur / startup-founder audience language is page text, not a FYJ buyer. Distinct from 18:55 ACAS, 16:55 Growth Hub, Start Up Loans, Help to Grow (as primary), Enterprise Nation. Fallbacks BL BIPC / Advocate / MoneyHelper / Nesta / CBI / employer NI were not switched to — MentorsMe primary cluster lives. ## What stands - Live MentorsMe host cluster on ukfinance.org.uk/mentors-me (homepage / about-us / find-mentor / find-a-mentor-results / mentoring-programmes / about-us/join-mentors-me / about-us/mentorsme-faqs / about-us/contact-us / resources / resources/accessing-finance / resources/sources-business-advice / resources/resources-aspiring-mentors all HTTP 200) + mentorsme.co.uk 301 → that host + GOV.UK /growing-your-business/work-with-a-mentor HTTP 200 pointing founders to MentorsMe (and Wales Business mentoring). Named GOV.UK MentorsMe scheme/guidance paths HTTP 404. Several guessed MentorsMe path spellings HTTP 404; live paths use find-mentor / join-mentors-me / sources-business-advice forms. - Official how-founders-are-directed-to-a-mentor fork: GOV.UK growing-your-business → MentorsMe directory of verified mentoring organisations + bank/government programme list; join gated by SFEDI verification; free application; annual join limit (number not printed); no scheduling/payment by MentorsMe; direct outreach. - Search facets printed (life stage / geography / free-paid / face-to-face-virtual / business-type tags). First results page prints named organisation cards + Load More; National coverage filter printed No results found. Programme list includes Santander / Barclays / NatWest / Help to Grow: Management Course rows as MentorsMe listings. - These sit next to earlier Market scenarios filings (ACAS; Growth Hub; apprenticeship levy; right-to-work; redundancy/ERA; holiday/WTR; SSP/SMP; NMW; EL; workplace pensions; IR35; late filing; MTD; Help to Grow/GGS as prior forks; Innovate UK; confirmation/accounts; VAT/PAYE; Start Up Loans; DIY vs ACSP). MentorsMe is a mentor-match / mentoring-organisation directory reach channel — checkable. Not who FYJ is for. Not a path. ## What does not stand - No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P. - MentorsMe’s SME / entrepreneur / startup-founder / freelancer audience language, mentoring organisations, bank programmes, and GOV.UK mentor readers are reach-channel roles, not a buyer. - A mentor-match directory is not a FYJ market path. - Naming “FYJ for MentorsMe / business mentoring” or treating MentorsMe SMEs as who pays us is inventing a customer — banned. Collision with founder-context.md: do not mint “startups and SMEs” as who; do not put Ironclad/Harvey on the map; productised-menu is a model not a path. - Do not invent a total mentoring-organisation headcount, join-limit number, or fee the live pages do not print. Soft-404 / 404 pages are not live content. Named GOV.UK /business-finance-support/mentorsme and related MentorsMe scheme paths are 404. - This is a different official map from ACAS employment-advice routing, Growth Hub local-advice network, Start Up Loans founder-finance, Help to Grow (as primary), and Enterprise Nation community. This hour is the MentorsMe mentor-match directory itself (with GOV.UK pointer). - Equality Act (02:55), 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. Equality Act / UKBAA / 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 mentor-match reach channel. 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 MentorsMe / GOV.UK mentor pages fill a Market scenarios cell (official how-founders-are-matched-to-mentors / mentoring-organisation directory reach channel). They do not fill a path cell. They do not install the productised-menu bucket. They do not pad compile candidates. ## Value-forming The Market scenarios line stayed thin. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A mentor-match directory, SFEDI verification gate, and GOV.UK pointer are not a path. Adjacent Market scenarios filings (ACAS; Growth Hub; running-the-company forks; Start Up Loans) still leave who / why / how / next empty. ## Result No path named yet. Market scenarios 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.
