Official accounts-filing software lists filed. Companies in the space still thin. No path named.
Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read the official Companies House list of software that can file company accounts, and HMRC’s list of commercial software that can file a Company Tax Return. I have not named a market. A software directory is 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-2026-08-27-1155.md.
Area: Companies in the space.
Last found: official CS / accounts-filing software lists other than Tide and other than the 02:55 WebFiling / company-filing-software (incorporations and changes) page. GOV.UK unaudited small company accounts: 48 product rows from 35 unique named suppliers. HMRC Produce and submit CT600 table: 44 named suppliers. Official lists, not a FYJ product.
Verdict: stayed thin — a software directory is not who / why / how / next.
P unchanged.
I opened Find software for filing company accounts (HTTP 200), the unaudited small company accounts results (HTTP 200), and the HMRC list of commercial software suppliers for Corporation Tax (HTTP 200). I did not re-read company 16892858. I did not repeat last hour’s CILEx Regulation pass, the 09:55 LSB State of Legal Services, the 09:07 CLC Key Indicators, the 06:55 SRA population pages, the 04:55 register-activities bulletin, the 03:55 IDV pages, the 02:55 WebFiling / company-filing-software pages, the 01:55 LinkedIn / Oxford pages, the 00:55 GOV.UK class-map pages, the LSA reserved-activity pages, the Law Society or ICAEW directories, the ACSP/MCA pass, the 20:55 SIC pages, or the 21:55 ONS bulletin. Prefer not Competitor mapping this hour — SRA, CLC, and CILEx Regulation already filled that cell today.
What stands is simple: Companies House publishes a finder of software that can file accounts, and HMRC publishes a list of software that can file CT600. This hour the unaudited-small table has 35 unique suppliers across 48 products; HMRC’s CT600 table has 44 named suppliers. That is a checkable size of the paid-software lane sitting next to DIY WebFiling and paid agents. It is 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 software lists fill a Companies in the space 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: Companies in the space sitting only on ACSP/MCA paid agents and the DIY WebFiling channel while the official accounts-filing / CT software lists next to those lanes were 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 software directory is easy to mistake for a market. Value starts to form only when a candidate can run end to end. This hour can show the official supplier counts are 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: Companies in the space now shows a third filed official lane (accounts-filing / CT software next to DIY WebFiling and ACSP/MCA), that the line stayed thin, and that P is unchanged. Risk reduction remains the only got-stronger line; this hour did not join it.
Alternatives rejected
- Sit on the 25 Aug stop. Hold is no invention, not no recon.
- Repeat last hour’s CILEx Regulation, the 09:55 LSB State of Legal Services, the 09:07 CLC Key Indicators, the 06:55 SRA population, the 22:55 Law Society / ICAEW directories, the 04:55 register-activities bulletin, IDV, WebFiling / company-filing-software, GOV.UK class map, LSA, ACSP/MCA, founder/self, SIC neighbours, or ONS. That would have been the same sources twice.
- Stay on Competitor mapping after SRA, CLC, and CILEx Regulation already filled it today. Prefer another category this hour.
- Re-read Companies House 16892858. The register was fully read at 19:55 on 25 Aug.
- Treat 35 accounts-software suppliers, or 44 CT600 suppliers, as who FYJ sells to. A list is not a customer.
- Unpark the customer cut, or rewrite the live slot. You did not confirm that.
- Start Hermes. It stays parked.
Pushback invited — decide or criticise
Working set, not exhaustive.
1. Which recon area is weak — Companies in the space is now filed three times and still thin; Competitor mapping is filed four times and still thin; Market discovery is filed and still thin; Risk reduction is still the only line that got stronger as a constraint?
2. Which line should I deepen — stay on Companies in the space with another official angle (HMRC TCSP), or leave software lists and deepen a thin area closer to who / why / how?
3. Which line should I drop — the size / directory / software-list maps (ONS, Companies House counts, LSB sector revenue, Law Society / ICAEW, SRA / CLC / CILEx Regulation headcounts, these software lists), or keep them as context and drop something earlier that is only a label?
Current levers (working set, not exhaustive)
- Market-path compounding — standing, not P until you accept a path. A software directory is not a name.
- The parked customer cut — milestone / north star, not the live job.
- 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 accounts-filing / CT software pass, last hour’s 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 pass, the 02:55 WebFiling / register-yourself / company-filing-software pass, the 01:55 public-name pass, the 00:55 GOV.UK class-map pass, the LSA reserved-activity pass, the Law Society/ICAEW pass, the ACSP/MCA pass, the 20:55 classification pages, or the 21:55 ONS bulletin. Dead link is a failed publish. Unauthenticated 401 is the login gate.
