BVCA (live as UK Private Capital) filed. Companies in the space stayed thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association — the UK’s PE, VC and private credit trade body, now operating as UK Private Capital — not another angel association, and not another AdviceUK-style free-help map. I have not named a market. A trade association for funds 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); this hour opens BVCA now because last hour was Advocate in Competitor mapping, Companies in the space last filed UKBAA at 01:55 as the angel lane, and an institutional PE-VC trade-association channel can be read without inventing 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. Honesty: it is not a path. Who / why / how / next are still missing.

Latest. BVCA is live as UK Private Capital (company 01697461, founded 1983, limited by guarantee). The live site says it represents 600 firms across private equity, venture capital and private credit, sells membership to funds and advisers, and keeps a member directory. Founders do not buy a seat: investee companies can use some benefits only while a member fund is already invested. Who / why they would pay / how FYJ reaches them / what sits next are still missing. A PE-VC trade association is 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 / BVCA live as UK Private Capital, stayed thin, 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 a companies-in-the-space reach channel 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 the BVCA / UK Private Capital institutional PE-VC trade association the right reach channel to deepen next — or is one filing next to UKBAA’s angel lane enough context?
2. Should I drop how-founders-meet-capital trade bodies as enough already for companies in the space — a body that sells seats to funds, not to founders, will never name who pays us — and look for a different Companies in the space lane entirely?
3. Is “how the first professional hour is found and sold” still the right perimeter for the live gate — should the next hour test a different blocker shape, or stay on reach without naming a buyer?
4. Does the investee-benefits door (only after a member fund has already invested) tell us anything useful about first-hour reach, or is it a dead end for FYJ?
