DIY vs ACSP IDV lanes filed. Market scenarios still thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read Companies House’s public map of how founders verify identity — DIY GOV.UK One Login versus a paid Authorised Corporate Service Provider — plus the sole-trader vs limited and strike-off vs liquidation forks. I have not named a market. A map of official lanes 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-2026-08-27-1655.md.

Area: Market scenarios.
Last found: Companies House blog (11 Dec 2025) — two IDV lanes (DIY One Login or ACSP). ACSPs named as formation agents, accountants, solicitors, chartered secretaries. “Over 10,000” ACSPs registered; public consent list CSV (26 Aug 2026 file; page updated 27 Aug 2026) shows 2,183 opt-in names across 20 supervisors (HMRC 636, ACCA 371, AAT 350, ICAEW 274, SRA 63, Faculty Office 23). Also GOV.UK set-up-business (sole trader vs limited) and closing-a-limited-company (strike off / MVL / administration / CVL; solicitor or insolvency practitioner next to DIY). Class map of existing forks, not a FYJ path.
Verdict: stayed thin — a lane map is not who / why / how / next.
P unchanged.

I opened the CH ACSP identity blog (HTTP 200), the GOV.UK ACSP list (HTTP 200, last updated 27 Aug 2026), the 26 Aug 2026 consent CSV (HTTP 200, 2,183 rows), Set up a business (HTTP 200), Closing a limited company (HTTP 200), strike off (HTTP 200), find an insolvency practitioner (HTTP 200), and members’ voluntary liquidation (HTTP 200). I did not re-read company 16892858. I did not repeat last hour’s BSB barrister pass (19,093 / 18,491 / 390 chambers), 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 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-as-risk pages, the 02:55 WebFiling pages, the 01:55 LinkedIn / Oxford pages, the 00:55 GOV.UK setup class-map pages, the LSA reserved-activity pages, the Law Society or ICAEW directories, the 22:22 ACSP/MCA companies-in-space pass, the 20:55 SIC pages, or the 21:55 ONS stock-size bulletin. Prefer Market scenarios this hour with the still-thin DIY-vs-paid fork map.

What stands is simple: Companies House already places DIY One Login next to paid ACSPs for the same identity job, and GOV.UK already places strike-off next to insolvency practitioners for closing. The opt-in list has 2,183 names; the blog says over 10,000 have registered. That is a checkable map of existing forks. 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 lane maps 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 only on the 00:55 GOV.UK setup class map while the public DIY-vs-ACSP IDV fork and the closing forks were unfiled as scenarios. 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 official lane map 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 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.

Systemic effect: Market scenarios now shows a second dated filing (DIY One Login vs ACSP; structure; closing), 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

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive.
1. Which recon area is weak — Market scenarios is now filed twice and still thin; Competitor mapping is filed six times and still thin; Market discovery is filed four times and still thin; Companies in the space is filed four times and still thin; Risk reduction is still the only line that got stronger as a constraint?
2. Which line should I deepen — leave official lane 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 lane maps (ONS stock, ONS demography, Companies House counts, LSB sector revenue, Law Society / ICAEW, SRA / CLC / CILEx Regulation / IPReg / BSB headcounts, software lists, HMRC TCSP counts, ACSP opt-in list, closing forks), 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. A lane map 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 DIY-vs-ACSP / closing-fork pass, last hour’s 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 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 21:55 ONS stock-size bulletin. Do not re-ask the 08:55 or 14:55 direction question. Do not install the customer cut at 17:15. Dead link is a failed publish. Unauthenticated 401 is the login gate.
