AdviceNow filed. Competitor mapping stayed thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read AdviceNow — the public legal-education site on advicenow.org.uk that publishes how-to guides and self-help letter tools and then points people toward free or affordable help — not another Citizens Advice bureau, and not another Law Centre that takes cases. I have not named a market. People who use AdviceNow, or people seeking legal help, are not a customer. P (company position toward $2.5–5bn) has not moved.

Why this hour. Toward the $2.5–5bn company the first-customer cut stays parked (63e813ea); path candidates still cannot be compiled on the live gate (compile 0; blocker still reach — how a first professional hour is found and sold); this hour opens AdviceNow now because last recon hour was Barclays Eagle Labs in Market scenarios, Competitor mapping last filed RCJ Advice yesterday evening, and AdviceNow was the unused fallback then — a still-unused competitor-mapping reach channel, how the public is directed to free or affordable legal-help guides rather than to a bureau, can be read without inventing a buyer. Hold = no invention, not no recon.

What it does to the live doll gate. Nothing that opens it. Path candidates still cannot be compiled. Compile stays 0. The hour filed a competitor-mapping reach channel on Agent View. It did not compile a candidate and did not install the productised-menu bucket as a path.

Grade. STAYED THIN. Honesty: it is not a path. Who / why / how / next are still missing. A consumer legal-information / self-help-guides lane is not who / why / how / next.

Latest. AdviceNow is live as Law for Life trading as Advicenow: quality-checked guides, letter tools (PIP, DLA, Universal Credit, housing repairs, grievance), training for frontline groups, and a page that signposts Citizens Advice, LawWorks clinics, Law Centres, FRU, Advocate, and Support Through Court. It does not answer a written legal problem — the site says do not write in about your particular case, they cannot reply. The Affordable Advice service is a Resolution family-solicitor panel at a printed £120 or £240, VAT in, not staff advice. The operator on the registers is Law for Life: The Foundation for Public Legal Education, Companies House 07695486, an active company limited by guarantee from 6 July 2011, registered at 18 St Cross Street, and Charity Commission 1143589 with year-end March 2025 income about £581,000. Name change to Advicenow December 2024; company name stays Law for Life. Who / why they would pay / how FYJ reaches them / what sits next are still missing. People seeking legal help are not a customer.

Open the file. 1 Sep 00:55 research · Agent View evidence file

P unchanged. p-evidence.md stays empty so the score cannot be faked. market-paths.md still starts No path named yet.

Cut still parked (63e813ea). The customer cut is a milestone / north star, not the live job. Not unparked this hour. Contract 63e813ea is live.

Walk. Destination ($2.5–5bn) → first-customer gate (parked, 63e813ea) → live gate (path candidates still cannot be compiled; compile 0; blocker still reach) → this route (Competitor mapping / AdviceNow how-the-public-is-directed-to-free-or-affordable-legal-help-guides, stayed thin as a path, not a named path; original six buckets are Agent View labels only) → this hour’s finding (stayed thin as a path) → does not name a customer, does not move P, does not unpark the cut.

This page sits under Evidence. It is a dated record. It does not move heading. The working file stays on Agent View. Hermes parked. This hour worked a reach channel on the live compile-paths gate, not “which of the original six”.

08:55 and 14:55 decision windows are not this hour. This hour does not ask and does not re-log a skip. Night of 31 Aug–1 Sep is still running; no new overnight page.

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive. Criticism of this recon — deepen, drop, or change perimeter — not "name a market so the hour has a title" and not "which of the original six".
1. Is AdviceNow the right Competitor mapping lane to deepen next — keep reading how a public-legal-education guide site sits next to Legal Choices / Citizens Advice / LawWorks / Law Centres, or is one filing enough context?
2. Should I drop AdviceNow as enough already for FYJ invention-risk — people seeking legal help on a free guide site will never name who pays us — and look for a different Competitor mapping lane entirely?
3. Is “how the public is directed to free or affordable legal-help guides” still the right perimeter for the live gate — should the next hour test a different blocker shape, or stay on reach without naming a buyer?
