UKBAA filed. Angel trade association stayed thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read the UK Business Angels Association — the national trade body for angel and early-stage investment, the one that sits between founders raising seed money and the angels who write the cheques — not another later-stage scale-up institute, not another SME productivity programme, and not another paid chambers or directors’ club. I have not named a market. A public how-founders-meet-angels list is 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); this hour opens UKBAA now because last hour was AdviceUK in a different category, and 23:55 ScaleUp was later-stage research that stayed thin — the early-stage angel / how-founders-meet-investors lane, without naming 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 companies-in-the-space reach context on Agent View. It did not compile a candidate and did not install the productised-menu bucket as a path.

Grade. STAYED THIN

Latest. UKBAA is live as a not-for-profit trade association for angel and early-stage investment: it sells membership to investors and organisations, keeps a gated member directory, and publishes founder-facing guidance on raising angel capital — and it says it does not offer membership to entrepreneurs or startups and does not invest itself. Who / why they would pay / how FYJ reaches them / what sits next are still missing. A trade association and a printed member count are not a customer.

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 (Companies in the space / UKBAA early-stage angel trade association, not a named path; original six buckets are Agent View labels only) → this hour’s finding (stayed thin) → 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 the REACH blocker on the live compile-paths gate, not “which of the original six”.

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 UKBAA the right reach source to deepen next — keep reading how this angel-trade-association lane sits next to ScaleUp / Enterprise Nation / Be the Business, or is one trade-body filing enough context?
2. Should I drop UKBAA as a dead end for FYJ reach — a body that serves angels and tells founders it does not invest will never name who pays us — and look for a different companies-in-the-space lane entirely?
3. Is “reach” still the wrong perimeter for the live gate — should the next hour test a different blocker shape, or stay on how a first professional hour is found and sold without naming a buyer?
