Market-path research — 31 Aug 2026 16:55 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: National Pro Bono Centre / www.nationalprobonocentre.org.uk (15:55 Competitor mapping).
Also did not repeat as primary: techUK / www.techuk.org (13:55 Companies in the space); 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 30 Aug); 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).

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 — 15:55 already noted that 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 BIPC attendees, workshop bookers, IP-clinic users, librarians, or “startups and SMEs” as a FYJ customer. NatWest Entrepreneur Accelerator / GOV.UK Business Support Helpline fallbacks not used — British Library BIPC primary cluster lives.

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

Prefer Market scenarios this hour — British Library Business & IP Centre (BIPC) (www.bl.uk/bipc / related hosts) — official/library how-founders-are-directed-to-start-up / IP / workshop advice. Explicit unused fallback named at 13:55 techUK hour. Distinct from 12:55 King's Trust, 03:55 MentorsMe, 30 Aug 16:55 Growth Hub, 30 Aug 18:55 ACAS, 30 Aug 20:55 Enterprise Nation, Start Up Loans, Help to Grow. 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 recon hour was Competitor mapping National Pro Bono Centre; a still-unused market-scenarios reach channel (library / BIPC how-founders-are-directed-to-start-up-advice) can be read without inventing a buyer. Not a FYJ path. Not P.

British Library printed as the UK national library / British Library Board / DCMS framework document 2025–2028. No company number printed; none invented. “As a charity” printed without a number.
Official how-founders-are-directed-to-start-up / IP / workshop-advice fork: free-to-join library network (British Library + over 70 libraries); start-up workshops and Kickstart two-day programme; Get Ready scale-up with printed turnover thresholds; IP collection described as the UK’s largest and as the Library of the Intellectual Property Office; premium market databases on a free Reader Pass at St Pancras; national network of printed regional centres and local hubs. Distinct from King's Trust (youth-enterprise grant/loan), MentorsMe (mentor-match gateway), Growth Hub (local-growth-hub advice routing), ACAS (employment-advice), Enterprise Nation (paid/free founder community), Start Up Loans, Help to Grow. Library / BIPC how-founders-are-directed-to-start-up-advice. Not a FYJ market path.

What does not stand

No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
BIPC attendees, workshop bookers, IP-clinic users, librarians, Reader Pass holders, and “startups and SMEs” are a public library programme’s audiences, not a buyer.
A national library / how-founders-are-directed-to-start-up-advice channel is not a FYJ market path.
Naming “FYJ for BIPC / workshop attendees / IP-clinic users / librarians / startups and SMEs” 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 experts-in-residence 26 Items, or a reconciled network census from over-70 / 20 regional / over-50 local / 19 named regions, or a reconciled impact census from over-40,000 / 300,000+ / 68,800 / 28,300 / over-90% / 2x / over-400 / more-than-200. Do not invent a British Library company number. Do not stitch King's Trust / MentorsMe / Growth Hub / ACAS / Enterprise Nation / Start Up Loans / Help to Grow into this hour as if re-read.
King's Trust (12:55), MentorsMe (03:55), Growth Hub (16:55 30 Aug), ACAS (18:55 30 Aug) remain prior Market scenarios 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 library start-up / IP advice network. 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 library / BIPC start-up and IP-advice 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 BIPC / British Library pages fill a Market scenarios cell (how founders are directed to start-up / IP / workshop advice through a national library network). 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 got another official how-founders-are-reached channel next to King's Trust / MentorsMe / Growth Hub / ACAS / Start Up Loans / Help to Grow / Enterprise Nation. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A library BIPC, a two-day Kickstart workshop, a Get Ready scale-up with turnover thresholds, and an IP reading room are not a path. Adjacent Market scenarios filings still leave who / why / how / next empty. Verdict stayed thin.

Result

No path named yet. Market scenarios stayed thin as a path. P unchanged.

Library / BIPC how-founders-are-directed-to-start-up-advice. Not a FYJ market path. ## What does not stand - No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P. - BIPC attendees, workshop bookers, IP-clinic users, librarians, Reader Pass holders, and “startups and SMEs” are a public library programme’s audiences, not a buyer. - A national library / how-founders-are-directed-to-start-up-advice channel is not a FYJ market path. - Naming “FYJ for BIPC / workshop attendees / IP-clinic users / librarians / startups and SMEs” 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 experts-in-residence 26 Items, or a reconciled network census from over-70 / 20 regional / over-50 local / 19 named regions, or a reconciled impact census from over-40,000 / 300,000+ / 68,800 / 28,300 / over-90% / 2x / over-400 / more-than-200. Do not invent a British Library company number. Do not stitch King's Trust / MentorsMe / Growth Hub / ACAS / Enterprise Nation / Start Up Loans / Help to Grow into this hour as if re-read. - King's Trust (12:55), MentorsMe (03:55), Growth Hub (16:55 30 Aug), ACAS (18:55 30 Aug) remain prior Market scenarios 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 library start-up / IP advice network. 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 library / BIPC start-up and IP-advice 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 BIPC / British Library pages fill a Market scenarios cell (how founders are directed to start-up / IP / workshop advice through a national library network). 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 got another official how-founders-are-reached channel next to King's Trust / MentorsMe / Growth Hub / ACAS / Start Up Loans / Help to Grow / Enterprise Nation. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A library BIPC, a two-day Kickstart workshop, a Get Ready scale-up with turnover thresholds, and an IP reading room are not a path. Adjacent Market scenarios filings still leave who / why / how / next empty. Verdict stayed thin. ## Result No path named yet. Market scenarios stayed thin as a path.
