Innovate UK / UKRI grant fork filed. Market scenarios stayed thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read DSIT’s Innovate UK allocation, the UKRI 2025-26 annual report outcomes for Innovate UK-supported businesses, the Smart Grants impact evaluation, and the GOV.UK Apply for innovation funding page. I have not named a market. A grant budget and a competition apply page are not who FYJ sells to. 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.

What the agent just did

Wrote market-path-research-2026-08-28-0655.md.

Area: Market scenarios.
Last found: DSIT R&D allocations 2025/2026 (Innovate UK £948 million inside UKRI £8,811 million; DSIT R&D £13.9 billion; government R&D £20.4 billion) + UKRI annual report and accounts 2025 to 2026 (published 12 August 2026; Innovate UK-supported businesses self-reported £220 million private follow-on funding, +2,153 FTE, 1,871 new products or services; over 70% of Innovate UK funding to Industrial Strategy sectors; Innovation Accelerator £130 million / ~£240 million co-investment / nearly 550 FTE) + Smart Grants impact evaluation final report (14 July 2026; early-stage SME competitive grants 2019-20 to 2024-25) + GOV.UK Apply for innovation funding / Innovation Funding Service search (all HTTP 200). Official innovation-grant fork with / between / above next to Start Up Loans (debt). Not a FYJ path.
Verdict: stayed thin — Who / why / how / next still missing.
P unchanged.

I opened Apply for innovation funding, Innovation Funding Service competition search, DSIT R&D allocations for 2025/2026, UKRI annual report and accounts 2025 to 2026, and Smart Grants impact evaluation final report (all HTTP 200). I did not re-read company 16892858. I did not repeat last hour’s ACCA Report on Regulation 2025 / Find an accountant pass, the 04:55 HMRC R&D Tax Credits Statistics September 2025 pass, the 03:55 Faculty Office / Master of the Faculties notary pass, the 02:55 confirmation-statement / accounts / Corporation Tax pass, the 01:55 HMRC tax-adviser ASA / MMTAR pass as the same pages, the 00:55 VAT / PAYE employer pass, the 23:55 HMRC EIS/SEIS pass, the 22:55 Start Up Loans pass as the same pages, the 21:55 OPBAS AML pass as the same pages, the 20:55 CLSB Costs Lawyer pass, the 19:55 DBT BPE 2025 pass, the 18:55 ACRA / CGIUKI pass as the same pages, the 17:55 IA 1986 s.388–390A / Annual Review 2025 pass, the 16:55 DIY-vs-ACSP / closing-fork pages as the same pages, the 15:55 BSB barrister pass, the 15:04 ONS Business demography pass, the 13:55 HMRC TCSP pass as the same pages, the 12:55 IPReg Core Metrics, the 11:55 accounts-filing / CT software lists as the same pages, the 10:55 CILEx Regulation pass, the 09:55 LSB State of Legal Services as sector-size pages, the 09:07 CLC Key Indicators, the 06:55 SRA population pages, the 04:55 register-activities bulletin, the 03:55 IDV-as-risk pages as the same pages, the 02:55 WebFiling pages, the 01:55 LinkedIn / Oxford pages, the 27 Aug 00:55 GOV.UK setup class-map pages, the LSA reserved-activity pages as the same risk pages, the Law Society or ICAEW directories as the same pages, the 22:22 ACSP/MCA companies-in-space pass as the same pages, the 20:55 SIC pages, or the 21:55 ONS stock-size bulletin. Prefer Market scenarios this hour with still-unused Innovate UK / UKRI grant and competition pages after Companies in the space filled at 05:55.

What stands is simple: next to Start Up Loans (debt) and the annual running-the-company forks sits the Innovate UK / UKRI innovation-grant map (£948 million Innovate UK allocation; £220 million follow-on; 1,871 products; GOV.UK apply-for-innovation-funding). 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 Innovate UK / UKRI pages fill a Market scenarios 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 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: Market scenarios sitting on confirmation/accounts, VAT/PAYE, Start Up Loans, DIY vs ACSP, and the setup class map, while the still-unused Innovate UK / UKRI grant and competition lane was 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 an Innovate UK budget line is easy to mistake for a market of “grant applicants FYJ could sell to.” Value starts to form only when a candidate can run end to end. This hour can show the innovation-grant fork is real 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 as a milestone / north star. It is not the live job.

Systemic effect: Market scenarios now shows a sixth dated filing (setup class map; DIY vs ACSP / closing; Start Up Loans; VAT/PAYE; confirmation/accounts; Innovate UK / UKRI grants), that the line stayed thin, and that P is unchanged. Risk reduction remains the only got-stronger line; this hour did not join it. The £948 million figure did not join market-paths.md as a path.

Alternatives rejected

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive.
1. Which recon area is weak — Market scenarios is now six filings and still thin; Companies in the space is now seven filings and still thin; Market discovery is now eight filings and still thin; Risk reduction is now four constraints and still not a path; Competitor mapping is now eight filings and still thin?
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 class 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 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, Law Society / ICAEW, SRA / CLC / CILEx Regulation / IPReg / BSB / CLSB / Faculty Office 747 headcounts, software lists, HMRC TCSP counts, ACSP opt-in list, closing forks, 1,480 IPs, ACRA ten members, CGIUKI over 40,000, OPBAS 22 / 41,400, Start Up Loans quarterly volumes, VAT £90,000 / PAYE sole-director, MMTAR 4,000 applications / 2,000 accounts, confirmation £50 / accounts 9 months / CT return 12 months, ACCA 12,810 PC / 2,360 AML firms, Innovate UK £948m / £220m follow-on / 1,871 products), 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. An Innovate UK allocation 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.

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 Innovate UK / UKRI grant and competition pass, last hour’s ACCA Report on Regulation / Find an accountant pass, the 04:55 HMRC R&D Tax Credits Statistics September 2025 pass, the 03:55 Faculty Office / Master of the Faculties notary pass, the 02:55 confirmation-statement / accounts / Corporation Tax pass, the 01:55 HMRC tax-adviser ASA / MMTAR pass, the 00:55 VAT / PAYE employer pass, the 23:55 HMRC EIS/SEIS pass, the 22:55 Start Up Loans pass, the 21:55 OPBAS AML pass, the 20:55 CLSB Costs Lawyer pass, the 19:55 DBT BPE 2025 pass, the 18:55 ACRA / CGIUKI pass, the 17:55 IA 1986 s.388–390A / Annual Review 2025 pass, the 16:55 DIY-vs-ACSP / closing-fork pass, the 15:55 BSB barrister pass, the 15:04 ONS Business demography pass, the 13:55 HMRC TCSP pass, the 12:55 IPReg Core Metrics, the 11:55 accounts-filing / CT software lists, the 10:55 CILEx Regulation, the 09:55 LSB State of Legal Services, the 09:07 CLC Key Indicators, the 06:55 SRA population / firm-breakdown pass, the 04:55 Companies House register-activities pass, the 03:55 IDV / ECCTA risk pass, the 02:55 WebFiling / register-yourself / company-filing-software pass, the 01:55 public-name pass, the 27 Aug 00:55 GOV.UK setup class-map pass, the LSA reserved-activity pass, the Law Society/ICAEW pass, the 22:22 ACSP/MCA pass, the 20:55 classification pages, or the 26 Aug 21:55 ONS stock-size bulletin. Do not re-ask the 08:55 or 14:55 direction question. Do not install the customer cut. Dead link is a failed publish. Unauthenticated 401 is the login gate.
