# Market-path research — 3 Sep 2026 02:55 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: Average weekly earnings / ONS AWE (3 Sep 01:55 Market discovery). Do not re-use Average weekly earnings as primary.
Also did not repeat as primary: Liberis, Capital Enterprise, YouLend, Bethnal Green Ventures, Seedcamp, Angel Investment Network, Assetz Capital, ThinCats, Antler, LawCare, MarketFinance, ONS Vacancies and jobs, MSA s.54, StreetLink, Turn2us, Centrepoint, Crisis, Shelter, ONS labour-market overview, Funding Circle, iwoca, BGF, Entrepreneur First, Founders Factory, Crowdcube, Seedrs, SyndicateRoom, UK GDPR, CRA, CCR, PECR, GEM UK, LSBS, BoE CCS, BoE ASBC, ONS BICS, PAYE RTI, BBB SBFM, CH April–June 2026, Google for Startups, Santander Breakthrough, Advicelocal, Youth Access, ATJF, AdviceNow. Explicitly did not re-open Liberis / Capital Enterprise / YouLend / Bethnal Green Ventures / Seedcamp / Angel Investment Network / Assetz Capital / ThinCats / Antler / LawCare / MarketFinance / Vacancies / Average weekly earnings / MSA s.54 / StreetLink / ONS labour-market overview as primary. Prefer Refuge this hour (named preferred unused Competitor-mapping fallback left unused at 2 Sep 13:55 LawCare and again at 3 Sep 01:55 AWE). Distinct from 14:20 compile (e834b2f2, 0 candidates, blocker reach) and from 15:36 reach-story/stats (58cd58c1). Distinct from LawCare (2 Sep 13:55), StreetLink (2 Sep 07:55), Turn2us (2 Sep 06:55), Centrepoint (2 Sep 01:55), Crisis (1 Sep 20:55), Shelter (1 Sep 17:55). 08:55 already skipped ~11:55 (no reply by 10:25) — Status skipped / proceeded without new founder input. 10:55 this cycle did not fire (no research file, no hour-log row) — noted honestly; not FAIL previous hour missing (that rule is Progressive-plan only; no Progressive-plan row for this hour → standing recon 26e4abb6). 14:55 skipped (no reply by 16:25) — proceeded without new founder input; listed plan standing recon 26e4abb6, cut parked, Hermes parked, inbox stays. 17:15/17:25 close already ran at 17:32 — this hour does not re-close the cycle. 18:55 this cycle did not fire (no research file, no hour-log row) — noted honestly; not FAIL. Previous hour 01:55 EXISTS (Average weekly earnings) — FAIL-previous-hour rule is Progressive-plan only — do NOT write FAIL. Automation for this 02:55 hour fired ~02:55 London. Night of 2–3 Sep still running — no new overnight page this hour (overnight page is separate). Did not unpark/install customer cut 63e813ea. Did not write kpis/p-evidence.md. Did not promote domestic-abuse survivors / women / children / National Domestic Abuse Helpline callers as an accepted market/path. Did not install the 12:48 productised hour-menu as a path. Did not invent a buyer from Refuge helpline / refuge / VAWG routing. Did not treat Refuge as LawCare, StreetLink, Turn2us, Centrepoint, Crisis, or Shelter. Did not switch primary to Women's Aid / CPAG or a fresh companies-in-the-space host — Refuge apex cluster lives this hour (refuge.org.uk HTTP 200). Did not invent charity / company numbers; numbers below are printed on the Refuge site (or CH/Commission for printed numbers only).

Area: Competitor mapping.
Verdict: stayed thin.
P unchanged.

## Searched
Prefer Competitor mapping this hour — Refuge / refuge.org.uk (and www → apex). 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 Average weekly earnings Market discovery; this hour leaves that category and files the named Refuge Competitor-mapping sibling left unused at 13:55 LawCare / 01:55 AWE for how-the-public-is-directed-to-domestic-abuse / violence-against-women help without inventing a buyer. Hold = no invention, not no recon. Not a FYJ path. Not P. This hour works REACH-channel competitor-mapping filing on the live compile-paths gate and does not invent a buyer to close it. Stay category Competitor mapping — primary Refuge cluster lives (apex HTTP 200). Fallbacks not switched to: Women's Aid (Competitor-mapping unused sibling) — existence note only this hour (HTTP 200); not switched (Refuge primary lived). Fresh unused companies-in-the-space hosts (e.g. Notion Capital / Haatch / Growth Capital Partners — verify unused next hour) left for later — not this hour's primary.

- Printed identity: charity England and Wales 277424; company limited by guarantee 1412276 (CH 01412276); registered housing provider 4730; Helpline 0808 2000 247 free 24/7 + online chat Mon–Fri 10am–10pm.
- Competitor-mapping how-the-public-is-directed-to-domestic-abuse / violence-against-women help lane next to LawCare, StreetLink, Turn2us, Centrepoint, Crisis, Shelter. Not a FYJ market path.
- Helpline callers / women and children escaping abuse are help recipients — not who FYJ sells to.

## What does not stand
- No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
- Domestic-abuse survivors, women, children, helpline callers, and VAWG policy audiences are help / campaign recipients, not a FYJ buyer.
- A Refuge / National Domestic Abuse Helpline routing charity is not a FYJ market path.
- Naming “FYJ for domestic-abuse survivors / women's services / VAWG charities / helpline operators” is inventing a customer — banned.
- Do not invent OSCR (none printed). Do not invent unpadded CH 1412276 as a live page (named 1412276 404; live is 01412276). Do not re-file LawCare / StreetLink / Turn2us / Centrepoint / Crisis / Shelter / AWE as primary. Do not switch primary to Women's Aid when Refuge lives. Do not open 16892858.
- 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 domestic-abuse 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 Refuge / National Domestic Abuse Helpline cluster is how the public is directed to domestic-abuse / VAWG help, 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 Refuge pages (+ Helpline companion + CH 01412276 + Commission 277424) fill a Competitor mapping cell (how-the-public-is-directed-to-domestic-abuse / VAWG 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 how-the-public-is-directed-to-help filing (Refuge after LawCare, StreetLink, Turn2us, Centrepoint, Crisis, Shelter). Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A domestic-abuse help-routing charity is not a path. Adjacent competitor-mapping filings still leave who / why / how / next empty.

## Result
No path named yet. Competitor mapping stayed thin. P unchanged. Refuge primary cluster lives — no switch to Women's Aid. CH opened only for printed company number 1412276 → 01412276. Commission opened only for printed charity number 277424. Did not open 16892858.

## Unused fallbacks named for NEXT hour
1. Competitor-mapping unused existence note this hour: Women's Aid / womensaid.org.uk (HTTP 200 size 398403). Do not switch if Refuge lives (it did). Optional later CPAG if still unused and not 403.
2. Prefer a fresh unused Companies in the space OR Market scenarios host NOT already banned (e.g. genuinely unused perimeter such as Growth Capital Partners / Haatch / Notion Capital only if still unused next hour — verify before primary). Do not re-use Liberis / Capital Enterprise / YouLend / Bethnal Green Ventures / Seedcamp / Angel Investment Network / Assetz Capital / ThinCats / Antler / LawCare / MarketFinance / Vacancies / Average weekly earnings / Refuge / MSA s.54 / StreetLink / ONS labour-market overview as primary next hour.
3. Do not fake unpublished ONS UK business activity, size and location 2026 (provisional 24 Sep 2026). Do not re-read Refuge or AWE as primary.
4. Prefer a fresh unused perimeter next hour rather than re-filing Refuge annual-report PDFs in depth as a path.
