Market-path research — 31 Aug 2026 15:55 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: techUK / www.techuk.org (13:55 Companies in the space).
Also did not repeat as primary: The King's Trust / www.kingstrust.org.uk (12:55 Market scenarios); Free Representation Unit / www.thefru.org.uk (11:55 Competitor mapping); PECR / Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (10:55 Risk reduction); Innovate Finance (09:55 Companies in the space); Support Through Court (07:55 Competitor mapping); BVCA / UK Private Capital (06:55 Companies in the space); Advocate (05:55 Competitor mapping); Companies House April–June 2026 monthly Official Statistics (04:55 Market discovery); MentorsMe (03:55 Market scenarios); Equality Act 2010 (02:55 Risk reduction); UKBAA (01:55); AdviceUK (00:55); ScaleUp Institute (23:55); Law Centres Network (22:55); Be the Business (21:55); Enterprise Nation (20:55); LawWorks (19:55); ACAS (18:55); Citizens Advice (17:55); Growth Hub (16:55); Legal Choices (15:55 30 Aug); ICO data protection fee (28 Aug 21:55); Start Up Loans (27 Aug 22:55); Help to Grow (28 Aug 09:55); BCC (30 Aug 11:55); IoD (30 Aug 05:55); FSB (30 Aug 00:55). Explicitly did not re-open techUK / King's Trust / FRU / Support Through Court / Advocate / AdviceUK / Law Centres / LawWorks / Citizens Advice / Legal Choices / MentorsMe / ACAS / Growth Hub / Start Up Loans / Help to Grow / Enterprise Nation / Innovate Finance / BVCA / UKBAA / ScaleUp / Be the Business / BCC / IoD / FSB / PECR / Equality Act / CH monthly as primary. Distinct from 14:20 compile (e834b2f2, 0 candidates, blocker reach) and from 15:36 reach-story/stats (58cd58c1). 08:55 already skipped at 10:55 (no reply by 10:25) — this hour does not re-ask and does not re-log a second skip. 14:55 decision hour never wrote today (no founder-view-decision-1455-2026-08-31.md, no founder-decisions entry, no hour-log row) — noted once; not stolen into this hour; no new 14:55 window opened. Overnight for Night of 30–31 Aug already written; did not rewrite 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 NPBC partner charities, volunteer lawyers, students, or “people looking for free legal help” as a FYJ customer. RCJ Advice / JUSTICE fallbacks not used — National Pro Bono Centre primary cluster lives.

Area: Competitor mapping.
Verdict: stayed thin as a path.
P unchanged.

Searched

Prefer Competitor mapping this hour — National Pro Bono Centre (nationalprobonocentre.org.uk / related hosts) — how the public / profession is directed to free / pro bono legal help through the national centre. Distinct from 11:55 FRU, 07:55 Support Through Court, 05:55 Advocate, 30 Aug 19:55 LawWorks, 30 Aug 22:55 Law Centres Network, 30 Aug 17:55 Citizens Advice, 31 Aug 00:55 AdviceUK, 30 Aug 15:55 Legal Choices. 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 a first professional hour is found and sold). Last hour was Companies in the space techUK; a still-unused competitor-mapping reach channel (national pro bono centre routing) can be read without inventing a buyer. Not a FYJ path. Not P.

About short path: https://www.nationalprobonocentre.org.uk/about/ — first hop HTTP 301 → /about-pro-bono/ (GET HTTP 200). Printed title: About pro bono - National Pro Bono Centre.

TrustLaw broader definition also printed, not treated as a FYJ buyer definition. Network for Justice collaboration printed (NPBC support for a couple of years).

Official how-the-public-and-profession-are-directed-to-free-pro-bono-help fork: a sector hub that does not advise individuals; signposts LawWorks / Advocate / Citizens Advice / law centres / AdviceNow / ombudsman; volunteer routing for solicitors, barristers, in-house lawyers and students; Pro Bono Connect matching; Pro Bono Expert Support; Pro Bono Week (23rd year printed). Distinct from FRU (tribunal representation), Support Through Court (in-court support not legal advice), Advocate (barrister referral), LawWorks (solicitor clinics), Law Centres Network (community law centres), Citizens Advice / AdviceUK (advice routing), Legal Choices (regulator consumer portal). National pro bono centre routing. Not a FYJ market path.

What does not stand

No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
NPBC partner charities, volunteer lawyers, students, and people looking for free legal help are a pro bono hub’s audiences, not a buyer.
A national pro bono centre / how-the-public-is-signposted-to-free-legal-help channel is not a FYJ market path.
Naming “FYJ for NPBC / pro bono clients / volunteer lawyers / people who cannot afford advice” 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 an employee census from the over-£60k line, or a reconciled office from CH / Commission / historical Chancery Lane. Do not stitch FRU / Advocate / LawWorks / Law Centres / Citizens Advice / AdviceUK / Legal Choices / Support Through Court into this hour as if re-read.
FRU (11:55), Support Through Court (07:55), Advocate (05:55), AdviceUK (00:55), Law Centres (22:55), LawWorks (19:55), Citizens Advice (17:55), Legal Choices (15:55 30 Aug) remain prior Competitor mapping filings. This hour does not re-file those pages.
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 a national pro bono centre. Stayed thin as a path.

End-to-end test

Who it is for: missing.
Why they would pay: missing.
How FYJ reaches them: missing (a public pro bono hub / signposting lane is not how FYJ reaches a named buyer).
What sits next: missing.
No real public fact this hour filled any of the four. Do not invent the rest. The NPBC / Companies House / Charity Commission pages fill a Competitor mapping cell (how the public and the profession are directed to free / pro bono legal help through the national centre). They do not fill a path cell. They do not install the productised-menu bucket. They do not pad compile candidates.

Value-forming

The Competitor mapping line got another free-legal-help / how-the-public-is-signposted channel next to FRU / Support Through Court / Advocate / LawWorks / Law Centres / Citizens Advice / AdviceUK / Legal Choices. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A national pro bono centre, a signposting page, Pro Bono Connect matching, and Pro Bono Week are not a path. Adjacent Competitor mapping filings still leave who / why / how / next empty. Verdict stayed thin.

Result

No path named yet. Competitor mapping stayed thin as a path. P unchanged.

Companies House 07226359 Active limited-by-guarantee (SIC 82990), incorporated 16 April 2010, office 10 Norwich Street EC4A 1BD. Charity Commission 1137708 (internal page 5010184) reporting up to date; YE 31 Dec 2024 income £242,721 / expenditure £265,314; 6 trustees / 12 volunteers. - Official how-the-public-and-profession-are-directed-to-free-pro-bono-help fork: a sector hub that does not advise individuals; signposts LawWorks / Advocate / Citizens Advice / law centres / AdviceNow / ombudsman; volunteer routing for solicitors, barristers, in-house lawyers and students; Pro Bono Connect matching; Pro Bono Expert Support; Pro Bono Week (23rd year printed). Distinct from FRU (tribunal representation), Support Through Court (in-court support not legal advice), Advocate (barrister referral), LawWorks (solicitor clinics), Law Centres Network (community law centres), Citizens Advice / AdviceUK (advice routing), Legal Choices (regulator consumer portal). National pro bono centre routing. Not a FYJ market path. ## What does not stand - No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P. - NPBC partner charities, volunteer lawyers, students, and people looking for free legal help are a pro bono hub’s audiences, not a buyer. - A national pro bono centre / how-the-public-is-signposted-to-free-legal-help channel is not a FYJ market path. - Naming “FYJ for NPBC / pro bono clients / volunteer lawyers / people who cannot afford advice” 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 an employee census from the over-£60k line, or a reconciled office from CH / Commission / historical Chancery Lane. Do not stitch FRU / Advocate / LawWorks / Law Centres / Citizens Advice / AdviceUK / Legal Choices / Support Through Court into this hour as if re-read. - FRU (11:55), Support Through Court (07:55), Advocate (05:55), AdviceUK (00:55), Law Centres (22:55), LawWorks (19:55), Citizens Advice (17:55), Legal Choices (15:55 30 Aug) remain prior Competitor mapping filings. This hour does not re-file those pages. - 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 a national pro bono centre. Stayed thin as a path. ## End-to-end test - Who it is for: missing. - Why they would pay: missing. - How FYJ reaches them: missing (a public pro bono hub / signposting lane is not how FYJ reaches a named buyer). - What sits next: missing. No real public fact this hour filled any of the four. Do not invent the rest. The NPBC / Companies House / Charity Commission pages fill a Competitor mapping cell (how the public and the profession are directed to free / pro bono legal help through the national centre). They do not fill a path cell. They do not install the productised-menu bucket. They do not pad compile candidates. ## Value-forming The Competitor mapping line got another free-legal-help / how-the-public-is-signposted channel next to FRU / Support Through Court / Advocate / LawWorks / Law Centres / Citizens Advice / AdviceUK / Legal Choices. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A national pro bono centre, a signposting page, Pro Bono Connect matching, and Pro Bono Week are not a path. Adjacent Competitor mapping filings still leave who / why / how / next empty. Verdict stayed thin. ## Result No path named yet. Competitor mapping stayed thin as a path.
