Market-path research — 4 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 hours as primary: BPMR / Business Protection from Misleading Marketing Regulations 2008 (4 Sep 19:55 Risk reduction); Surviving Economic Abuse (4 Sep 18:55 Competitor mapping); ONS UK business activity size and location 2025 (4 Sep 17:55 Market discovery); Passion Capital (4 Sep 16:55 Companies in the space); Wayra (4 Sep 13:55 Market scenarios); Connect Ventures (4 Sep 12:55 Companies in the space); StepChange (4 Sep 11:55 Competitor mapping); Hoxton Ventures (4 Sep 10:55 Companies in the space); Techstars (4 Sep 09:55 Market scenarios); MMC Ventures (4 Sep 06:55 Companies in the space); ASA / CAP (4 Sep 04:55 Risk reduction); Rape Crisis England & Wales (4 Sep 03:55 Competitor mapping); LocalGlobe (4 Sep 02:55 Companies in the space); Digital Catapult (4 Sep 01:55 Market scenarios); Balderton Capital (3 Sep 19:55 Companies in the space); Tech Nation (3 Sep 18:55 Market scenarios); SafeLives (3 Sep 12:55 Competitor); Women's Aid (3 Sep 04:55 Competitor); Refuge (3 Sep 02:55 Competitor). Do not re-use those hosts as primary.
Did not re-file as primary: Growth Hub (England, 30 Aug 16:55), MentorsMe, Start Up Loans, Helpline, NatWest Accelerator, Eagle Labs, Virgin StartUp, BIPC, King's Trust, Capital Enterprise, SETsquared, CDL, Tech Nation, Digital Catapult, Techstars, Wayra, Enterprise Nation.
Previous filed hour 19:55 EXISTS (market-path-research-2026-09-04-1955.md BPMR Risk reduction) — not FAIL. Previous 18:55 / 17:55 / 16:55 / 13:55 / 12:55 / 11:55 EXIST — not FAIL. No 15:55 fire — already noted at 16:55; not FAIL (Progressive-plan only). 14:55 skipped (no reply by 16:25) — not re-asked. 08:55 already skipped — not re-asked. 17:15 close already ran — not re-closed this hour.
Did not unpark/install customer cut 63e813ea. Did not write kpis/p-evidence.md. Did not invent a buyer from Scottish founders / COSLA / local authorities / Scottish Enterprise partners / Business Gateway advisers. Did not install the 12:48 productised hour-menu as a path. Did not invent a UK Companies House company number — none printed on Business Gateway pages opened this hour. Did not open 16892858. Did not invent numbers beyond printed site claims. Did not print G0–G3 or a numbered gate catalogue. Did not emit a file:// link.

No Progressive-plan row for this hour → standing recon 26e4abb6. Automation / executor hour label 20:55 (automation fired ~21:03 London). Not a decision point (08:55/14:55 only; both windows already closed).

Area: Market scenarios.
Verdict: stayed thin as a path (official Scotland how-founders-are-reached / local business-advice network; sibling shape next to Growth Hub England — still not a path).
P unchanged.
Primary host: Business Gateway (Scotland) — preferred lived on www.bgateway.com. No fallback switch to Business Wales / Invest Northern Ireland / Scottish Enterprise because preferred lived.

Why this hour

Destination is the $2.5–5bn company; the first-customer cut (63e813ea) remains parked; the live middle gate is that path candidates still cannot be compiled (e834b2f2: 0 candidates, reach blocker). After 19:55 Risk reduction (BPMR 2008) and 18:55 Competitor mapping (Surviving Economic Abuse), this hour rotates into Market scenarios. Preferred primary is Business Gateway — Scotland’s official free local business-advice network, left unused next to Growth Hub (England, 30 Aug 16:55), MentorsMe, Helpline, NatWest Accelerator, Eagle Labs, Virgin StartUp, BIPC, King’s Trust, Capital Enterprise, SETsquared, CDL, Tech Nation, Digital Catapult, Techstars, Wayra. Hold = no invention, not no recon. This moment tests another how-founders-are-reached / local-advice-network channel for Scotland. A publicly funded Scottish advice network is not a FYJ path. Not P.

Searched

Primary: Business Gateway (www.bgateway.com / bgateway.com → www). Preferred host is readable this hour — no fallback switch. Did not re-file Growth Hub / MentorsMe / Helpline / NatWest Accelerator / Eagle Labs / Virgin StartUp / BIPC / King’s Trust / Capital Enterprise / SETsquared / CDL / Tech Nation / Digital Catapult / Techstars / Wayra / Enterprise Nation as primary.

Substance (context only, not a path): publicly funded Scottish free business-advice service delivered by Local Government (COSLA + Scottish Local Authorities + contractors); partners include Scottish Enterprise, HIE, South of Scotland Enterprise, SDS, VisitScotland, FSB Scotland, Chambers, SDI, SLAED, Social Enterprise Scotland, Scottish Government. One-to-one advice, online resources, local events/webinars. Enquiry line 0300 013 4753 Mon–Fri 9–5. Printed Impact 2025/26: more than 52,000 customers advised; 25,550 pre-start; 7,250 new businesses launched; homepage also prints 27,233 webinar/event attendees last year.
Preferred lived — no fallback. No CH open (no printed company number on pages opened).

What does not stand

No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
Scottish founders / COSLA / local authorities / Scottish Enterprise partners / Business Gateway advisers are not who FYJ sells to.
A publicly funded Scotland advice network is not a FYJ market path.
Naming "FYJ for Business Gateway clients / Scottish start-ups via local offices" is inventing a customer — banned.
Do not re-file Growth Hub / MentorsMe / Helpline / NatWest / Eagle Labs / Virgin / BIPC / King’s Trust / Capital Enterprise / SETsquared / CDL / Tech Nation / Digital Catapult / Techstars / Wayra as primary. Do not open 16892858.
Do not treat partner names on who-we-work-with as a new primary filing of those hosts.

End-to-end test

Who it is for: missing.
Why they would pay: missing.
How FYJ reaches them: missing.
What sits next: missing.
No real public fact this hour filled any of the four. Do not invent the rest. Business Gateway fills a Market scenarios cell as Scotland’s official how-founders-are-reached / local business-advice network next to Growth Hub (England). It does not fill a path cell.

Value-forming

Market scenarios now has a filed Business Gateway Scotland local-advice network next to Growth Hub England (30 Aug 16:55), MentorsMe, Helpline, NatWest Accelerator, Eagle Labs, Virgin StartUp, BIPC, King’s Trust, Capital Enterprise, SETsquared, CDL, Tech Nation, Digital Catapult, Techstars, Wayra. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. An official Scotland advice network is not who / why / how / next. Verdict: stayed thin as a path (reach channel only).

Result

No path named yet. Market scenarios stayed thin as a path. P unchanged.
Compile stays 0. Blocker still reach. Cut 63e813ea parked. Hermes parked. Slot unchanged. Layer unchanged (Peer toggle: Founder View ↔ Agent View).

One-to-one advice, online resources, local events/webinars. Enquiry line 0300 013 4753 Mon–Fri 9–5. Printed Impact 2025/26: more than 52,000 customers advised; 25,550 pre-start; 7,250 new businesses launched; homepage also prints 27,233 webinar/event attendees last year. - Preferred lived — no fallback. No CH open (no printed company number on pages opened). ## What does not stand - No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P. - Scottish founders / COSLA / local authorities / Scottish Enterprise partners / Business Gateway advisers are not who FYJ sells to. - A publicly funded Scotland advice network is not a FYJ market path. - Naming "FYJ for Business Gateway clients / Scottish start-ups via local offices" is inventing a customer — banned. - Do not re-file Growth Hub / MentorsMe / Helpline / NatWest / Eagle Labs / Virgin / BIPC / King’s Trust / Capital Enterprise / SETsquared / CDL / Tech Nation / Digital Catapult / Techstars / Wayra as primary. Do not open 16892858. - Do not treat partner names on who-we-work-with as a new primary filing of those hosts. ## End-to-end test - Who it is for: missing. - Why they would pay: missing. - How FYJ reaches them: missing. - What sits next: missing. No real public fact this hour filled any of the four. Do not invent the rest. Business Gateway fills a Market scenarios cell as Scotland’s official how-founders-are-reached / local business-advice network next to Growth Hub (England). It does not fill a path cell. ## Value-forming Market scenarios now has a filed Business Gateway Scotland local-advice network next to Growth Hub England (30 Aug 16:55), MentorsMe, Helpline, NatWest Accelerator, Eagle Labs, Virgin StartUp, BIPC, King’s Trust, Capital Enterprise, SETsquared, CDL, Tech Nation, Digital Catapult, Techstars, Wayra. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. An official Scotland advice network is not who / why / how / next. Verdict: stayed thin as a path (reach channel only). ## Result No path named yet. Market scenarios stayed thin as a path. P unchanged. Compile stays 0. Blocker still reach. Cut 63e813ea parked. Hermes parked. Slot unchanged. Layer unchanged (Peer toggle: Founder View ↔ Agent View). Confirmation: Contract UUID 26e4abb6-3b66-4a66-a4f7-d4c065ad9233 is live. Hold = no invention, not no recon.
