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 vacancy-advertising employers, unemployed people, workforce-jobs holders, “startups and SMEs”, or ONS Vacancy Survey respondents as a FYJ customer. Did not invent a buyer from UK labour-market size / conditions.

Area: Market discovery.
Verdict: stayed thin.
P unchanged.

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 MSA s.54 risk reduction, and 09:55 named Vacancies as unused market-discovery fallback — a public official vacancies / workforce-jobs size bulletin that can be read without inventing a buyer. Hold = no invention, not no recon. Not a FYJ path. Not P. This hour works SIZE/CONDITIONS context on the live compile-paths gate, not the reach blocker itself, and does not invent a buyer to close it. Rotate category away from Risk reduction — primary Vacancies cluster lives. Fallbacks not switched to: Average weekly earnings sibling; unpublished ONS 2026 activity/size/location; re-primary Employment in the UK / ONS labour-market overview.

Named july2026 / september2026 dated slugs and peopleinwork/datasets/vacanciesbyindustry — HTTP 429 rate-limited (temporary access block / too many HTTP requests) on later hops this hour after the live August cluster was already read. Not treated as proof that a September 2026 Vacancies bulletin exists. Not treated as a second primary. Do not invent a live July/September Vacancies page from 429s.
Average weekly earnings sibling left unused (Vacancies primary lives). Unpublished ONS UK business activity, size and location 2026 (provisional 24 Sep 2026) not faked. ONS labour-market overview /latest not re-read as primary.

Printed main points from the live August 2026 Vacancies bulletin (not dumped as tables onto Founder View): early estimate May to July 2026 vacancies 707,000 — quarterly decrease 6,000 (0.8%) vs February to April 2026; decreased in 9 of 18 industry sectors on the quarter (largest: human health and social work −5,000; education −4,000); decreased in 3 of 5 employment size bands (largest: businesses with 1 to 9 employees −8,000); down 19,000 (2.7%) on the year; 2.5 unemployed people per vacancy in April to June 2026 (ratio unchanged since July to September 2025); vacancies now 81,000 (10.3%) below pre-coronavirus January to March 2020 level. Workforce jobs early estimate March 2026: 36.8 million WFJ — quarterly increase 256,000 (0.7%) since December 2025; down 98,000 (0.3%) on the year. Vacancy Survey feedback notes some firms may not be recruiting because of increases in labour costs and other operating expenses. Method note: VACS02 vacancy-ratio method changing toward job openings rate; both old and new methods published 21 July 2026 and 18 August 2026; aim to publish revised method only from 15 September 2026.

Did not invent a FYJ buyer from vacancy-advertising employers, unemployed people, workforce-jobs holders, “startups and SMEs”, or Vacancy Survey respondents. Named 404 paths are not a live Vacancies hub alias. HTTP 429 on later july/september hops is rate-limit, not a second bulletin. Average weekly earnings / unpublished ONS 2026 / ONS labour-market overview were not switched to — Vacancies primary cluster lives.

Official ONS Vacancy Survey + workforce jobs size / conditions bulletin. Distinct from 2 Sep 00:55 ONS labour-market overview (which already printed the same 707k vacancies headline as a one-line overview point — this hour is the dedicated Vacancies and jobs bulletin + datasets). Distinct from BoE CCS, LSBS, GEM UK, BICS, PAYE RTI, ASBC.
Market-discovery SIZE/CONDITIONS context on inventing a first-hour path that pretends UK vacancy stock / workforce jobs do not exist as background. Not a buyer. Not a FYJ market path.

What does not stand

No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
Vacancy-advertising employers, unemployed people, workforce-jobs holders, and “startups and SMEs” are labour-market classes / survey audiences, not a buyer.
A vacancies / jobs stock bulletin is not a FYJ market path.
Naming “FYJ for hiring employers / vacancy-fillers / 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 a live /vacancies hub from named 404s. Do not invent a September 2026 Vacancies bulletin from HTTP 429. Do not dump the PDF or dataset tables onto Founder View. Do not stitch labour-market overview / CCS / LSBS / GEM into this hour as if re-read as primary. Do not re-file MSA s.54 as primary.
ONS labour-market overview (00:55), BoE CCS (1 Sep 21:55), LSBS (1 Sep 18:55), GEM UK (1 Sep 13:55), MSA s.54 (09:55), StreetLink (07:55) remain prior filings. This hour does not re-file those pages 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 vacancy stock. 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 vacancies / workforce-jobs size bulletin 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 Vacancies and jobs live pages fill a Market discovery cell (UK labour-market SIZE/CONDITIONS). 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 Market discovery line got another official size filing only. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. Vacancy stock / unemployed-per-vacancy / workforce jobs are not a path. Adjacent Market discovery filings (ONS labour-market overview; BoE CCS; LSBS; GEM UK; BICS; PAYE RTI; ASBC) still leave who / why / how / next empty.

Result

No path named yet. Market discovery stayed thin. P unchanged. Vacancies primary cluster lives — no switch.

Unused fallbacks named for NEXT hour

Market discovery unused: Average weekly earnings in Great Britain (ONS sibling; left unused this hour because Vacancies primary lives). Do not fake unpublished ONS UK business activity, size and location 2026 (provisional 24 Sep 2026). Do not re-read ONS labour-market overview /latest or Vacancies and jobs /latest as primary.
Do not re-use Vacancies and jobs in the UK / Modern Slavery Act 2015 s.54 / StreetLink / Turn2us / Entrepreneur First / Founders Factory / iwoca / BGF / Centrepoint / Funding Circle / ONS labour-market overview / UK GDPR / DPA 2018 as primary next hour.

Not treated as proof that a September 2026 Vacancies bulletin exists. Not treated as a second primary.

Unpublished ONS UK business activity, size and location 2026 (provisional 24 Sep 2026) not faked. ONS labour-market overview /latest not re-read as primary. Printed main points from the live August 2026 Vacancies bulletin (not dumped as tables onto Founder View): early estimate May to July 2026 vacancies 707,000 — quarterly decrease 6,000 (0.8%) vs February to April 2026; decreased in 9 of 18 industry sectors on the quarter (largest: human health and social work −5,000; education −4,000); decreased in 3 of 5 employment size bands (largest: businesses with 1 to 9 employees −8,000); down 19,000 (2.7%) on the year; 2.5 unemployed people per vacancy in April to June 2026 (ratio unchanged since July to September 2025); vacancies now 81,000 (10.3%) below pre-coronavirus January to March 2020 level. Workforce jobs early estimate March 2026: 36.8 million WFJ — quarterly increase 256,000 (0.7%) since December 2025; down 98,000 (0.3%) on the year. Vacancy Survey feedback notes some firms may not be recruiting because of increases in labour costs and other operating expenses. Method note: VACS02 vacancy-ratio method changing toward job openings rate; both old and new methods published 21 July 2026 and 18 August 2026; aim to publish revised method only from 15 September 2026. Did not invent a FYJ buyer from vacancy-advertising employers, unemployed people, workforce-jobs holders, “startups and SMEs”, or Vacancy Survey respondents. Named 404 paths are not a live Vacancies hub alias. HTTP 429 on later july/september hops is rate-limit, not a second bulletin. Average weekly earnings / unpublished ONS 2026 / ONS labour-market overview were not switched to — Vacancies primary cluster lives. ## What stands - Live Vacancies and jobs in the UK cluster: /latest HTTP 200 size 84999 title Vacancies and jobs in the UK (H1 Vacancies and jobs in the UK: August 2026; release 18 August 2026; next release 15 September 2026) + /august2026 HTTP 200 size 84999 + previousreleases HTTP 200 size 61691 + PDF HTTP 200 size 1148571 application/pdf + VACS02 HTTP 200 size 41509 + X06 HTTP 200 size 42231 + JOBS01 HTTP 200 size 41530 + JOBS02 HTTP 200 size 41870 + AP2Y timeseries HTTP 200 size 161084 + JP9Z HTTP 200 size 161236 + aboutus HTTP 200 size 34559 (no CH number). http→https 301.

Later july2026 / september2026 / wrong vacanciesbyindustry hops HTTP 429 rate-limited this hour. - Official ONS Vacancy Survey + workforce jobs size / conditions bulletin. Distinct from 2 Sep 00:55 ONS labour-market overview (which already printed the same 707k vacancies headline as a one-line overview point — this hour is the dedicated Vacancies and jobs bulletin + datasets). Distinct from BoE CCS, LSBS, GEM UK, BICS, PAYE RTI, ASBC. - Market-discovery SIZE/CONDITIONS context on inventing a first-hour path that pretends UK vacancy stock / workforce jobs do not exist as background. Not a buyer. Not a FYJ market path. ## What does not stand - No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P. - Vacancy-advertising employers, unemployed people, workforce-jobs holders, and “startups and SMEs” are labour-market classes / survey audiences, not a buyer. - A vacancies / jobs stock bulletin is not a FYJ market path. - Naming “FYJ for hiring employers / vacancy-fillers / 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 a live /vacancies hub from named 404s. Do not invent a September 2026 Vacancies bulletin from HTTP 429. Do not dump the PDF or dataset tables onto Founder View. Do not stitch labour-market overview / CCS / LSBS / GEM into this hour as if re-read as primary. Do not re-file MSA s.54 as primary. - ONS labour-market overview (00:55), BoE CCS (1 Sep 21:55), LSBS (1 Sep 18:55), GEM UK (1 Sep 13:55), MSA s.54 (09:55), StreetLink (07:55) remain prior filings. This hour does not re-file those pages 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 vacancy stock. 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 vacancies / workforce-jobs size bulletin 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 Vacancies and jobs live pages fill a Market discovery cell (UK labour-market SIZE/CONDITIONS). 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 Market discovery line got another official size filing only. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. Vacancy stock / unemployed-per-vacancy / workforce jobs are not a path. Adjacent Market discovery filings (ONS labour-market overview; BoE CCS; LSBS; GEM UK; BICS; PAYE RTI; ASBC) still leave who / why / how / next empty. ## Result No path named yet. Market discovery stayed thin. P unchanged. Vacancies primary cluster lives — no switch. ## Unused fallbacks named for NEXT hour 1. Market discovery unused: Average weekly earnings in Great Britain (ONS sibling; left unused this hour because Vacancies primary lives). Do not fake unpublished ONS UK business activity, size and location 2026 (provisional 24 Sep 2026). Do not re-read ONS labour-market overview /latest or Vacancies and jobs /latest as primary. 2. Do not re-use Vacancies and jobs in the UK / Modern Slavery Act 2015 s.54 / StreetLink / Turn2us / Entrepreneur First / Founders Factory / iwoca / BGF / Centrepoint / Funding Circle / ONS labour-market overview / UK GDPR / DPA 2018 as primary next hour. ## 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. One line: 63e813ea is live (parked). e834b2f2 compile still 0; blocker still reach. 58cd58c1 Founder View is the story. 06657cd0 pages shareable. f7c2a04e voice walk. c7b2e14a short Evidence. Hermes parked. Slot unchanged. Layer unchanged (Peer toggle: Founder View ↔ Agent View). 08:55 skipped (no reply by 10:25) — proceeded without new founder input; logged ~11:55. 10:55 did not fire this cycle (no file, no hour-log row) — noted; not FAIL. 14:55 later today — not stolen. 17:15 close already ran at 17:32 — not re-closed this hour.
