Companies in the space deepened (DIY / WebFiling). Stayed thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour looked at the official Companies House self-serve channel — register a company yourself, WebFiling for changes and the confirmation statement, find-and-update, and the software-filing list. That is the DIY lane sitting next to paid agents. I have not named a market. P has not moved.

UUID 63e813ea-f3ae-4cb3-9090-2025599c7854 is live (parked): the customer cut stays parked.

Contract UUID 26e4abb6-3b66-4a66-a4f7-d4c065ad9233 is live. Hold = no invention, not no recon.

What the agent just did

Wrote market-path-research-2026-08-27-0255.md.

Area: Companies in the space.
Last found: Companies House self-serve / WebFiling / register-yourself public pages (register online £100; find-and-update service; file changes and confirmation statement on WebFiling; company filing software with presenter account). DIY official channel next to paid agents.
Verdict: stayed thin.
P unchanged.

I opened register a company online (HTTP 200), find and update company information (HTTP 200), file changes to a company (HTTP 200), file your confirmation statement (HTTP 200), company filing software (HTTP 200), get information about a company (HTTP 200), confirmation statement guidance (HTTP 200), file your company accounts and tax return (HTTP 200), and Companies House account sign-in (HTTP 204). I did not re-read company 16892858. I did not repeat the 01:55 LinkedIn / Oxford / SeedLegals pages, the 00:55 GOV.UK class-map pages, the LSA/SRA reserved-activity pages, the Law Society or ICAEW directories, the ACSP/MCA pass, the 20:55 SIC pages, or the 21:55 ONS bulletin.

What stands is simple: the government already runs a founder DIY lane. You can incorporate yourself online for £100, or use an agent, or use third-party software. After that, WebFiling (or listed software with a presenter account and authentication code) is how you file changes and the confirmation statement yourself. That sits next to the paid-agent class we already filed at 22:22. It is space context. It is not who would pay FYJ.

End-to-end test this hour: who / why pay / how FYJ reaches them / what sits next — all still missing. A public filing channel fills a Companies in the space cell. It does not fill a path cell.

market-paths.md still starts No path named yet.

This page sits under Evidence. It is a dated record. It does not move heading.

Why this was necessary

P is company position toward $2.5–5bn. p-evidence.md is empty so the score cannot be faked. p-missing.md is still the question you confirmed: Who is the first customer, or what is the first market path, for For Your Journey Ltd? Empty is honest, not finished. Market-path research is the current priority mechanism. This note is not a P move.

The problem this hour removes: Companies in the space sitting only on the ACSP/MCA agent class while the DIY official channel next to those agents was still unfiled. Future recon hours show area / found / stronger-thin-discarded / P unchanged, from a different public source, still without inventing a name.

That matters for ownership and for $2.5–5bn because a WebFiling page is still not who would pay. Value starts to form only when a candidate can run end to end. This hour can show the DIY lane beside paid agents and still say the FYJ line has no named path.

A layer is a named piece of the job that can come off once a close has evidence it can run without you. Today's layer stays Peer toggle: Founder View ↔ Agent View. This hour did not rename it.

The slot is unchanged: hold the 24-hour founder loop with Founder View and Agent View as peer surfaces. Use the hours for market-path compounding. Do not invent a customer. Do not unpark the customer cut.

A cut is a shortened next-job draft. The customer cut would make “name the first customer” the next job. You parked it until market paths have been identified and are converging. It stays parked.

Systemic effect: Companies in the space now shows a second filed official lane (DIY / WebFiling next to ACSP/MCA), that the line stayed thin, and that P is unchanged.

Alternatives rejected

• Sit on the 25 Aug stop. Hold is no invention, not no recon.
• Repeat ACSP/MCA, GOV.UK class map, LSA/SRA, Law Society/ICAEW, founder/self, SIC neighbours, or ONS size. That would have been the same sources twice.
• Re-read Companies House 16892858. The register was fully read at 19:55 on 25 Aug.
• Use the 00:55 set-up-limited-company / limited-company-formation pages again. Those were already filed as a class map; this hour used register-online / WebFiling / software filing instead.
• Invent a “we replace WebFiling” or “we sit between DIY and agents” offer. That would fake a path.
• Unpark the customer cut, or rewrite the live slot. You did not confirm that.

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive.
1. Which recon area is weak — Companies in the space is now filed twice and still thin; Competitor mapping, Market discovery, Market scenarios, and Founder / self are also thin; Risk reduction is stronger only as a constraint?
2. Which line should I deepen — stay on Companies in the space with another official angle, or leave it and deepen a different thin area?
3. Which line should I drop — none of the filed class maps yet, or drop something earlier that is only context?

Current levers (working set, not exhaustive)

1. Market-path compounding — standing, not P until you accept a path. A WebFiling channel is not a name.
2. The parked customer cut.
3. The live slot — still the 24-hour loop with peer surfaces. Not rewritten this hour.

Watch / next decision point

Next recon hour uses a different public source again, still without inventing a name, still without re-reading 16892858, and still without repeating this WebFiling / register-yourself pass, the 01:55 public-name pass, the 00:55 GOV.UK class-map pass, the LSA/SRA reserved-activity pass, the Law Society/ICAEW pass, the ACSP/MCA pass, the 20:55 classification pages, or the 21:55 bulletin. Dead link is a failed publish. Unauthenticated 401 is the login gate.
