# Market-path research — 1 Sep 2026 20:55 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: Santander Breakthrough / www.santander.co.uk/breakthrough / Lloyds Bank Lab dead Error-1007 / HSBC Kinetic 404 (1 Sep 19:55 Market scenarios).

Explicitly did not re-open Santander Breakthrough / Lloyds Bank Lab / HSBC Kinetic / LSBS / Shelter / SyndicateRoom / Youth Access / GEM UK / Google for Startups / CRA 2015 / Seedrs / Advicelocal / Crowdcube / Helpline / IPSE / CCR 2013 / ATJF / Virgin StartUp / Founders Forum / AdviceNow / Eagle Labs / TEN / CFE / CBI / techUK / Innovate Finance / BVCA / UKBAA / ScaleUp / Be the Business / Enterprise Nation / BCC / IoD / FSB / RCJ Advice / JUSTICE / NPBC / FRU / Support Through Court / Advocate / AdviceUK / Law Centres / LawWorks / Citizens Advice / Legal Choices / NatWest Accelerator / BIPC / King's Trust / MentorsMe / Growth Hub / ACAS as primary. Also did not use as a separate primary this hour: Bank of England Credit Conditions Survey; UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018; Funding Circle; ONS labour-market overview; unpublished ONS UK business activity, size and location 2026 (provisional 24 Sep 2026) — Crisis primary cluster lives. Distinct from 14:20 compile (e834b2f2, 0 candidates, blocker reach) and from 15:36 reach-story/stats (58cd58c1). 08:55 direction window closed at 10:25 with no reply — logged as skipped; this hour does not re-ask. 14:55 did not fire this cycle — not re-asked this hour. 17:15 close already ran at 17:32 — this hour does not re-close the cycle. 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 Crisis Skylight members, hostel/shelter referral readers, StreetLink / Shelter / Citizens Advice / Centrepoint referral users, donors, volunteers, trustees, campaign supporters, or “people experiencing homelessness” as a FYJ customer. Did not treat Crisis as Shelter. Did not invent a Crisis national helpline (Get Help routes emergency housing advice to Shelter’s 0808 800 4444).

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

## Searched
Prefer Competitor mapping this hour — Crisis (crisis.org.uk homelessness charity / how-the-public-is-directed-to-housing-or-homelessness-help) — named unused competitor-mapping fallback on 1 Sep 19:55 Santander Breakthrough Founder View pushback. Distinct from Shelter (1 Sep 17:55), Youth Access, Advicelocal, ATJF, AdviceNow, RCJ Advice, JUSTICE, NPBC, FRU, Support Through Court, Advocate, AdviceUK, Law Centres, LawWorks, Citizens Advice, 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 recon hour was Santander Breakthrough in Market scenarios, and 19:55 named Crisis as unused competitor-mapping fallback — a live homelessness / public-housing-help routing host distinct from Shelter and the free-advice filings, readable without inventing a buyer. Hold = no invention, not no recon. Not a FYJ path. Not P. This hour works REACH-channel competitor mapping on the live compile-paths gate and does not invent a buyer to close it. Rotate category away from Market scenarios — primary Crisis cluster lives. Fallbacks not switched to: BoE Credit Conditions Survey; UK GDPR / DPA 2018; Funding Circle.

## What stands
- Live Crisis cluster: www.crisis.org.uk apex (HTTP 200) + get-help / ending-homelessness / about-us / how-we-work / contact-us / history / annual-reports / get-involved / donate / nine Skylight centre pages / skylight lander (HTTP 200) + CH 04024938 (HTTP 200) + Charity Commission 1082947 YE 30 Jun 2025 income £67,190,000 / expenditure £68,175,000 (HTTP 200) + OSCR SC040094 (HTTP 200).
- Printed role: national charity for people experiencing homelessness / site claim “national charity for single homeless people” on Commission activities. Public Get Help routing to 9 Skylight centres plus heavy signposting to Shelter, local councils, StreetLink, Citizens Advice, Turn2us, Centrepoint. Tel 0300 636 1967 is the registered-address contact line in the footer — not invented into a national housing-advice helpline; emergency housing advice is routed to Shelter 0808 800 4444. Distinct from Shelter / Youth Access / Advicelocal / ATJF / AdviceNow / RCJ Advice / JUSTICE / NPBC / FRU / Support Through Court / Advocate / AdviceUK / Law Centres / LawWorks / Citizens Advice / Legal Choices.
- Printed numbers: charity E&W 1082947 + OSCR SC040094 + company footer 4024938 / CH 04024938 at 50-52 Commercial Street, London E1 6LT; CH Active limited-by-guarantee from 27 June 2000; SIC 88990; last accounts 30 Jun 2025. Commission YE 2025: 710 employees / 14 trustees / 6157 volunteers; income £67.19m / expenditure £68.18m.
- Competitor-mapping homelessness / how-the-public-is-directed-to-housing-or-homelessness-help sibling next to Shelter / Youth Access / Advicelocal / Citizens Advice / Law Centres. Not a FYJ market path.

## What does not stand
- No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
- Skylight members, Get Help readers, referral users, donors, volunteers, and campaign supporters are not a buyer.
- A homelessness charity (even with Skylight centres and Get Help routing) is not a FYJ market path.
- Naming “FYJ for Crisis clients / Skylight members / homeless households / startups and SMEs” is inventing a customer — banned.
- Do not invent a live Crisis national housing helpline from footer Tel 0300 636 1967. Do not invent a live /fees or /our-10-year-strategy HTML (404). Do not merge Crisis with Shelter; Get Help explicitly routes hostel/shelter and expert housing advice to Shelter. Do not re-file Shelter / Youth Access / Advicelocal / ATJF / AdviceNow / RCJ Advice / JUSTICE / NPBC / FRU / Support Through Court / Advocate / AdviceUK / Law Centres / LawWorks / Citizens Advice / Legal Choices / Santander Breakthrough as primary.
- 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 homelessness / public-housing-help routing host. 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 free Skylight / Get Help / Shelter-referral lane is how a homelessness charity routes the public, 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 Crisis live pages fill a Competitor mapping cell (how the public is directed to housing or homelessness help). They do not fill a path cell. They do not install the productised-menu bucket. They do not pad compile candidates. Compile stays 0.

## Value-forming
The Competitor mapping line got another homelessness / public-housing-help routing filing (after Shelter). Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A Skylight / Get Help / Shelter-referral lane is not a path. Adjacent Competitor mapping filings (Shelter; Youth Access; Advicelocal; ATJF; AdviceNow; RCJ Advice; JUSTICE; NPBC; FRU; Support Through Court; Advocate; AdviceUK; Law Centres; LawWorks; Citizens Advice; Legal Choices) still leave who / why / how / next empty.

## Result
No path named yet. Competitor mapping stayed thin as a path. P unchanged. Crisis primary cluster lives — no switch.

## Unused fallbacks named for NEXT hour
1. Market discovery: Bank of England Credit Conditions Survey (NEW conditions bulletin; not LSBS 2024 again; not GEM UK; not BPE / BBB SBFM / BICS / PAYE RTI / CH April–June 2026 / BoE ASBC Agents summary). Alternate if that cluster is dead: ONS labour-market overview. Do not fake unpublished ONS UK business activity, size and location 2026.
2. Risk reduction: UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018 (legislation.gov.uk + ICO guidance — NEW; distinct from ICO data-protection fee 28 Aug 21:55, PECR, CRA, CCR).
3. Companies in the space: Funding Circle (fundingcircle.com — SME lending / how-founders-meet-debt capital; distinct from Crowdcube / Seedrs / SyndicateRoom / BBB / Start Up Loans).
4. Do not re-use Crisis / Shelter / Santander Breakthrough / Lloyds Bank Lab / HSBC Kinetic / LSBS as primary next hour.
