Making Tax Digital for Income Tax filed. Market scenarios stayed thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read Making Tax Digital for Income Tax — the live HMRC obligation for sole traders and landlords, and the official population under it. I have not named a market. A reporting mandate 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 four pages above (all HTTP 200). I did not re-read company 16892858. I did not repeat last recon’s ICAEW probate / oaths pass, the 09:55 Help to Grow / Growth Guarantee pass, the 07:55 HMRC Trust Registration Service pass, the 06:55 Innovate UK / UKRI grant and competition pass, the 05:55 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 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 Making Tax Digital for Income Tax after Competitor mapping filled at 10:55.

What stands is simple: next to VAT registration, PAYE-as-employer, and the annual confirmation / accounts deadlines sits a live Income Tax digital-reporting mandate (from 6 April 2026 above £50,000; then £30,000; then £20,000) and an official 864,000-person over-£50,000 count. 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 Making Tax Digital for Income Tax 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 Help to Grow, Growth Guarantee, Innovate UK, VAT / PAYE, and annual confirmation / accounts, while the live Making Tax Digital for Income Tax mandate — the HMRC change that started on 6 April 2026 — was 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 an 864,000-person mandated-reporting count is easy to mistake for a market of “sole traders FYJ could sell MTD help to.” Value starts to form only when a candidate can run end to end. This hour can show those official forks 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.

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 MTD is not that test finishing, and it is not a layer transfer.

Systemic effect: Market scenarios now shows an eighth dated filing (GOV.UK setup class map; DIY vs ACSP / structure / closing; Start Up Loans; VAT / PAYE; confirmation / accounts / CT; Innovate UK / UKRI; Help to Grow + Growth Guarantee; Making Tax Digital for Income Tax), that the line stayed thin, and that P is unchanged. The 864,000-person over-£50,000 count 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 eight filings and still thin; Competitor mapping is now nine filings and still thin; Risk reduction is now five constraints and still not a path; Companies in the space is now seven filings and still thin; Market discovery 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 / trust-register / Help-to-Grow / Growth-Guarantee / ICAEW-probate / MTD-Income-Tax 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 / TRS / Help-to-Grow / GGS / ICAEW-probate / MTD-Income-Tax 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 directories, SRA / CLC / CILEx Regulation / IPReg / BSB / CLSB / Faculty Office 747 / ICAEW probate 321 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, TRS £5,000 / 1 September 2027, Help to Grow £750 / 5–249 employees, GGS £2m / 70% guarantee / £6.5bn expansion, MTD 864,000 over £50,000 / 7.0 million ITSA), 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 MTD mandate and an 864,000-person count are 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. 14:55 asks again. The 08:55 window closed at 10:25 with no reply.

Watch / next decision point

14:55 asks again. 17:15 scores. Next recon hour uses a different public source again, still without inventing a name, still without re-reading 16892858, and still without repeating this Making Tax Digital for Income Tax pass, last recon’s ICAEW probate / oaths pass, the 09:55 Help to Grow / Growth Guarantee pass, the 07:55 HMRC Trust Registration Service pass, the 06:55 Innovate UK / UKRI grant and competition pass, the 05:55 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 27 Aug 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 directories 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 direction question. Do not install the customer cut. Dead link is a failed publish. Unauthenticated 401 is the login gate.
