Founders Factory filed. Market scenarios stayed thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour went looking for Founders Factory — a how-founders-are-reached accelerator / venture-studio programme — not iwoca again, and not Santander Breakthrough or Google for Startups. I have not named a market. An accelerator 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 — how a first professional hour is found and sold); last hour was iwoca Flexi-Loan companies-in-the-space, so this hour tests a market-scenarios accelerator reach host named unused on that filing, 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 a market-scenarios accelerator / venture-studio programme on Agent View. An Apply page does not close the reach blocker. 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.

Latest. Founders Factory is live: a venture studio and a startup accelerator with public Apply surfaces, including an Aviva Fintech Accelerator marked Applications open (£50k capital and six months of support on that page), plus other named sector programmes some Open and some Closed. Site claims include 500+ startups, 60+ operators, and $1.7bn+ capital raised. No company number prints on the live pages this hour; Companies House for FOUNDERS FACTORY LIMITED under search is 09564631 — Active private limited from 28 April 2015 at Level 7, Arundel Street Building, 180 Strand / 2 Arundel Street, WC2R 3DA (SIC 62012 and 62020). Four-month general accelerator copy sits beside the Aviva six-month line — left as printed, not forced into one length. Applicants, cohort members and “startups and SMEs” 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 (customer cut parked).

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 (Market scenarios / Founders Factory how-founders-are-reached accelerator + venture studio, stayed thin as a 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 REACH on the live compile-paths gate, not “which of the original six”.

08:55 direction window closed at 10:25 with no reply. Proceeded without new founder input. This hour does not re-ask. 14:55 did not fire this cycle — not re-asked this hour. 17:15 close already ran at 17:32 — not re-closed this hour. Night of 1–2 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 Founders Factory the right how-founders-are-reached perimeter to deepen next — Aviva Fintech open cohort, studio co-found lane, other Open programmes — or is one more accelerator filing after Google for Startups / NatWest / Eagle Labs / Virgin / Santander enough context that it will never name who pays us?
2. Should I drop accelerator / venture-studio programmes as a set because how founders meet Founders Factory capital and operators is not how FYJ sells a first hour?
3. The Aviva page prints six months while the general accelerator page prints four months — is that two-length string worth a second hour, or already enough to leave as printed?
4. Next unused fallbacks are Entrepreneur First (programme / companies in the space), Turn2us or StreetLink (competitor mapping), or Vacancies and jobs in the UK (ONS sibling) — which perimeter should the next hour take?
