# Market-path research — 3 Sep 2026 12:55 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: Episode 1 (3 Sep 11:55 Companies in the space). Do not re-use Episode 1 / Haatch / Growth Capital Partners / Notion Capital / CPRs / CMA207 / MSA / GDPR / CRA / CCR / PECR as primary.
Also did not repeat as primary: Creative Destruction Lab, SETsquared, Level39, Women's Aid, Refuge, Liberis, YouLend, AIN, Assetz, ThinCats, Seedcamp, BGV, Antler, Capital Enterprise, Average weekly earnings, Vacancies, labour-market overview, Funding Circle, iwoca, BGF, Entrepreneur First, Founders Factory, Crowdcube, Seedrs, SyndicateRoom, LawCare, StreetLink, Turn2us, Centrepoint, Crisis, Shelter. Explicitly did not re-open Episode 1 / Haatch / Growth Capital Partners / Notion Capital / Women's Aid / Refuge / Liberis / YouLend / Bethnal Green Ventures / Seedcamp / Angel Investment Network / Assetz Capital / ThinCats / Antler / CPRs / CMA207 as primary. Prefer Competitor mapping this hour (rotate AWAY from Companies in the space / Episode 1). Preferred primary: SafeLives (safelives.org.uk) — UK national domestic-abuse charity / how-the-public-is-directed-to-domestic-abuse / VAWG help. Distinct from Women's Aid Federation of England 03171880 / charity 1054154 (04:55), Refuge 01412276 / charity 277424 (02:55), LawCare, StreetLink, Turn2us, Centrepoint, Crisis, Shelter, Youth Access, Advicelocal, ATJF, AdviceNow, RCJ Advice, JUSTICE, NPBC, FRU, Support Through Court, Advocate, AdviceUK, Law Centres, LawWorks, Citizens Advice, Legal Choices. Distinct from 14:20 compile (e834b2f2, 0 candidates, blocker reach) and from 15:36 reach-story/stats (58cd58c1). 08:55 morning decision window ended 10:25 with no reply — already skipped and logged; do not re-ask. Previous hour 11:55 EXISTS (Episode 1 Companies in the space) — FAIL-previous-hour rule is Progressive-plan only — do NOT write FAIL. No Progressive-plan row for this hour → standing recon 26e4abb6. Did not unpark/install customer cut 63e813ea. Did not write kpis/p-evidence.md. Did not promote survivors, MARAC practitioners, training commissioners, or donors as an accepted market/path. Did not install the 12:48 productised hour-menu as a path. Did not invent a buyer from domestic-abuse / VAWG help-routing audiences. Did not treat SafeLives / domestic-abuse help-seekers as who FYJ sells to.

Area: Competitor mapping.
Verdict: stayed thin (as a path). A how-the-public-is-directed-to-domestic-abuse / VAWG help / national domestic-abuse charity host is not who / why / how / next.
P unchanged.

## Searched
Prefer Competitor mapping this hour — SafeLives (safelives.org.uk) UK national domestic-abuse charity / how-the-public-is-directed-to-domestic-abuse / VAWG help (NEW as primary this hour; distinct from Women's Aid 04:55 and Refuge 02:55). 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 Episode 1 Companies in the space; rotate category away from Companies in the space — a public domestic-abuse help-routing host can be read without inventing a buyer. Hold = no invention, not no recon. Not a FYJ path. Not P. This hour works a REACH-channel competitor-mapping filing on the live compile-paths gate, not the reach blocker itself, and does not invent a buyer to close it. Preferred primary order: SafeLives lives first.

## What stands
- Live SafeLives domestic-abuse / VAWG help-routing cluster: apex HTTP 200 size 160697 / about-us 175310 / who-we-are 91558 / contact-us 170892 / get-help-support 119956 / privacy-notice 98781 / terms-and-conditions 87024 / strategy 107884 / history 113323 / facts-and-figures 131789.
- Legal identity printed on site and confirmed on CH + OSCR: Company 05203237 SAFELIVES Active from 11 Aug 2004 Bristol BS1 2NT SIC 85590; charity England and Wales 1106864 (Commission page unreadable this hour); OSCR SC048291 Active from 12 Apr 2018; YE 30 Jun 2025 income £10.63m / expenditure £11.30m; 115 staff / 8 trustees; VAT 109 0812 38 printed on terms.
- Site thesis printed: end domestic abuse, for everyone, for good; training / MARAC / DASH / Leading Lights / Insights / survivor-voice tooling for professionals; get-help routing for the public.
- Named short paths HTTP 404 / soft miss — recorded honestly.
- Constraint / context only: a how-the-public-is-directed-to-domestic-abuse national charity host sits next to Women's Aid / Refuge / LawCare / StreetLink / Turn2us / Centrepoint / Crisis / Shelter — not a buyer.
- Octopus / Balderton / LocalGlobe / Latitude / MMC existence probes live but unused as primary because SafeLives primary lives. CPAG 403 recorded.

## What does not stand
- No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
- Survivors, MARAC practitioners, commissioners, trainees, and donors are not a FYJ buyer.
- A domestic-abuse / VAWG national charity is not a FYJ market path.
- Naming "FYJ for SafeLives / domestic-abuse help-seekers" is inventing a customer — banned.
- Do not invent a Companies House number. Do not re-file Women's Aid / Refuge / Episode 1 / Haatch as primary. 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 a 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 SafeLives / domestic-abuse help-routing cluster is how the public is directed to 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 SafeLives pages 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 domestic-abuse / VAWG help-routing filing (SafeLives after Women's Aid / Refuge / LawCare / StreetLink / Turn2us / Centrepoint / Crisis / Shelter). Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A national domestic-abuse charity host is not a path. Adjacent help-routing filings still leave who / why / how / next empty.

## Result
No path named yet. Competitor mapping stayed thin as a path. P unchanged. SafeLives preferred primary cluster lives (apex + about-us + who-we-are + contact + get-help-support + privacy + terms + CH 05203237 + OSCR SC048291). CH 16892858 not opened. Charity Commission 1106864 unreadable this hour. 08:55 skipped (no reply by 10:25) — not re-asked. Previous hour 11:55 EXISTS — not FAIL.

## Unused fallbacks named for NEXT hour
1. Competitor-mapping SafeLives now filed (after Women's Aid / Refuge / LawCare). Do not re-use SafeLives / Women's Aid / Refuge as primary next hour.
2. Companies-in-the-space Episode 1 now filed (11:55). Do not re-use Episode 1 / Haatch / Growth Capital Partners / Notion Capital as primary next hour.
3. Risk-reduction CPRs 2008 / DMCCA unfair-trading now filed (10:55). Do not re-use CPRs / CMA207 / MSA / GDPR / CRA / CCR / PECR as primary next hour.
4. Prefer next unused sibling in the named preferred order this hour left unused: Octopus Ventures (octopusventures.com HTTP 200) OR Balderton Capital (balderton.com HTTP 200) OR LocalGlobe / Latitude (phoenixcourt.vc HTTP 200) OR MMC Ventures (mmc.vc HTTP 200) — OR a fresh unused Competitor mapping / Market discovery / Market scenarios / Risk reduction / Companies in the space host NOT already banned. CPAG was 403 this hour.
5. Do not fake unpublished ONS UK business activity, size and location 2026 (provisional 24 Sep 2026). Do not re-read SafeLives, Women's Aid, Refuge, or Episode 1 as primary.
6. Prefer a fresh unused perimeter next hour rather than re-filing SafeLives programme depth or inventing a buyer from domestic-abuse / VAWG audiences.
