Faculty of Advocates filed. Competitor mapping stayed thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read Faculty of Advocates pages — about, Find an Advocate, FAQs, becoming an intrant, devilling, professional standards, the AML Supervision Report 2024–25, and the 2025 QA Statement — not another CIMA MiP map. I have not named a market. A Scottish advocate regulator / profession filing is not a customer. P has not moved.

Parked customer cut (63e813ea) is live as a milestone / north star; not the live job.

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

Verdict: stayed thin — Who / why / how / next still missing.
P unchanged.

I opened the thirteen sources above (all HTTP 200). I did not re-read company 16892858.

Did not retry STEP.org (HTTP 403). Prefer Competitor mapping this hour with still-unused Faculty of Advocates pages after Companies in the space filled at 01:55. Faculty pages were live; no Bar of Northern Ireland fallback needed.

What stands is simple: next to BSB, Law Society of Scotland, Law Society of Northern Ireland, and the other regulator maps sits the Scottish advocate bar — a public Find an Advocate directory covering every practising Advocate, independent sole practitioners in stables, Legal Services (Scotland) Act 2010 regulation, an AML-supervised subset of 8 in 2025, and a 2025 QA slice of 93 members (~one fifth of the practising Bar). Those facts are checkable. They are not who FYJ is for, why they would pay, how FYJ reaches them, or what sits next. So it is not a candidate, and it is not a path.

End-to-end test this hour: who / why pay / how FYJ reaches them / what sits next — all still missing. The Faculty of Advocates pages fill a Competitor mapping cell, not 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 stays empty so the score cannot be faked. p-missing.md stays the one founder-confirmed question: Who is the first customer, or what is the first market path, for For Your Journey Ltd? Empty is not finished. The next useful work is either a real name you accept, or measurable evidence toward answering. This hour is the second kind: other recon under 26e4abb6, not inventing a name so the hour has a title.

Concrete problem removed: after Companies in the space filled CIMA Members in Practice at 01:55, the next Competitor mapping cell would have looked empty or frozen on Law Society of Northern Ireland if the hour stopped. How future file writes change: each recon hour still has to name the area, the source, stronger / thin / discarded, and that P did not move — on Evidence, in founder English. Why that matters for ownership and the $2.5–5bn goal: you can see the map thicken without the score lying. A Faculty AML count of 8 or a QA slice of 93 is not a path. Russian doll gates stay: path candidates still cannot be compiled; thin hours do not open a gate; the customer cut stays parked.

This hour is still standing recon under the live loop, not a layer claim and not a P move.

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 as a milestone / north star. It is not the live job.

One full day without you in the loop is a test that can qualify taking a layer off you. It is not the destination. The destination is P, with market path(s) first. Filing a Faculty of Advocates map is not that test finishing, and it is not a layer transfer. The 17:15 close already scored this cycle no / no.

Systemic effect: Competitor mapping now shows a twelfth dated filing (ACSP+MCA; Law Society / ICAEW directories; SRA; CLC; CILEx; IPReg; BSB; CLSB; Faculty Office notaries; ICAEW probate; Law Society of Scotland; Law Society of Northern Ireland; Faculty of Advocates AML 8 / QA 93 / Find an Advocate), that the line stayed thin, and that P is unchanged. The Faculty filing did not join market-paths.md as a path.

Alternatives rejected

• Stop recon because hold sounds like stop. Hold means no invention (26e4abb6). Stopping would leave Competitor mapping frozen on Law Society of Northern Ireland and waste the hour.
• Re-read company 16892858, or re-file the 29 Aug 01:55 CIMA pages or the 28 Aug 22:55 LSNI pages as if they were new. Forbidden, and they are not this source.
• Treat “Faculty of Advocates”, “practising Advocates”, or “AML-supervised advocates” as who FYJ sells to. A regulator / profession filing is not a customer.
• Retry STEP.org after HTTP 403. Dead / blocked pages are not live.
• Fall back to Bar of Northern Ireland when Faculty pages were already HTTP 200. Not needed.
• Unpark the customer cut, or rewrite the live slot. You did not confirm that.
• Start Hermes. It stays parked.
• Invent a path because “93 QA assessments” or “~one fifth of the practising Bar” looks like a market. That would fake P.
• Install the customer cut. Forbidden. This hour is 02:55 recon.

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive.
1. Which recon area is weak — Market discovery is now eleven filings and still thin; Companies in the space is now eleven filings and still thin; Market scenarios is now twelve filings and still thin; Competitor mapping is now twelve filings and still thin; Risk reduction is now six constraints and still not a path?
2. Which line should I deepen — leave regulator / supervision / loan-programme / tax-scheme / R&D-claim / VAT-PAYE / tax-adviser-registration / annual-filing / ACCA-practice / Innovate-UK-grant / trust-register / Help-to-Grow / Growth-Guarantee / ICAEW-probate / MTD-Income-Tax / CIOT-ATT / VAT-population / ICAS-practice / late-filing-penalty / Law-Society-of-Scotland / CT-receipts / AAT-licensed / IR35-class / ICO-fee / Law-Society-of-Northern-Ireland / Insolvency-Service / automatic-enrolment / CIMA-MiP / Faculty-of-Advocates maps and deepen a thin area closer to who / why / how, or file another still-unused official source?
3. Which line should I drop — the size / flow / directory / regulator-headcount / supervised-population / DIY-vs-paid / reserved-appointment / trade-association / legal-form / AML-PBS / founder-finance / tax-relief-equity / R&D-claim / VAT-PAYE / tax-adviser-ASA / annual-confirmation-accounts / notary-headcount / ACCA-practising-certificate / Innovate-UK-grant / TRS / Help-to-Grow / GGS / ICAEW-probate / MTD-Income-Tax / CIOT-ATT / VAT-population / ICAS-practice / late-filing-penalty / Law-Society-of-Scotland / CT-receipts / AAT-licensed / IR35 / ICO-fee / Law-Society-of-Northern-Ireland / Insolvency-Service / automatic-enrolment / CIMA-MiP / Faculty-of-Advocates maps (ONS stock, ONS demography, Companies House counts, LSB sector revenue, BPE 5.7 million / 3.2 million sole traders, EIS 3,735 / SEIS 2,430, R&D 46,950 / £7.6bn, VAT population 2,330,400 / 2,285,900 live, CT receipts £97.2bn / 1.6 million with no liability, Law Society / ICAEW directories, SRA / CLC / CILEx / IPReg / BSB / CLSB / Faculty Office / ICAEW probate / Law Society of Scotland / Law Society of Northern Ireland / Faculty of Advocates headcounts, software lists, HMRC TCSP counts, ACSP opt-in list, closing forks, 1,480 IPs, ACRA, CGIUKI, OPBAS, Start Up Loans, VAT £90,000 / PAYE sole-director, MMTAR, confirmation £50 / accounts 9 months, ACCA 12,810 PC, Innovate UK, TRS, Help to Grow, GGS, MTD, CIOT / ATT, ICAS, late accounts / ECCTA penalties, AAT, IR35, ICO fee, LSNI, Insolvency Service July 2026 1,931 / 50.3 per 10,000 / 2025 annual 23,938, workplace pension AE 22–SPA / £10,000 / 3%–5%–8% / sole-director no-staff, CIMA 1,631 MiPs / 84 new / 77% limited company, Faculty AML supervised 8 / QA 93), or keep them as context and drop something earlier that is only a label?

Current levers (working set, not exhaustive)

1. Market-path compounding — standing, not P until you accept a path. A Faculty of Advocates filing is not a name.
2. The parked customer cut — milestone / north star, not the live job.
3. The live slot — still the 24-hour loop with peer surfaces. Not rewritten this hour.
4. 17:15 already scored this cycle no / no. Both 08:55 and 14:55 windows closed with no reply. 08:55 later today asks again. Russian doll gates: path candidates still cannot be compiled.

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 Faculty of Advocates about / Find an Advocate / FAQs / intrant / devil / professional-standards / AML Supervision Report 2024–25 / QA Statement 2025 pass, last recon’s CIMA Membership Directories / become-a-member-in-practice / practising-certificates / criminality-test / supervision-by-CIMA / AML Supervision Annual Report 2024–25 pass, last Market scenarios’ GOV.UK workplace-pensions / TPR automatic-enrolment pass, last Market discovery’s Insolvency Service Company insolvencies July 2026 pass, last Competitor mapping’s Law Society of Northern Ireland pass, last Risk reduction’s ICO data protection fee pass, or the earlier list on the dated research file. 08:55 later today asks again. Do not install the customer cut. Dead link is a failed publish. Unauthenticated 401 is the login gate.
