Late-filing and ECCTA penalty forks filed. Market scenarios stayed thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read the Companies House late-filing penalty schedule for accounts and the ECCTA financial-penalty approach for confirmation-statement and other offences — the consequence fork next to the earlier deadline map, not another ICAS practice-lane pass. I have not named a market. A penalty table 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.

What the agent just did

Wrote market-path-research-2026-08-28-1655.md.

Area: Market scenarios.
Last found: Companies House late filing penalties + Pay a penalty + Companies House approach to financial penalties. Late filing penalties (HTTP 200) — private company / LLP late accounts: £150 / £375 / £750 / £1,500 by how late; public £750 / £1,500 / £3,000 / £7,500; doubled if late in two successive years; accounts only; not filing accounts or confirmation statements is a criminal offence. Pay a penalty to Companies House (HTTP 200) — pay online / bank transfer / cheque; appeal late filing through Companies House. Companies House approach to financial penalties (HTTP 200; last updated 30 March 2026) — ECCTA 2023 (Financial Penalty) Regulations 2024 from 2 May 2024; warning notice then fixed / daily-rate / combination; file the missing confirmation statement within 28 days of the warning and you will not get that financial penalty; minor / serious / very serious scales £250–£2,000 by repeat. Running-the-company penalty consequence fork with / between / above next to the 02:55 deadline map. Not a FYJ path.
Verdict: stayed thin — Who / why / how / next still missing.
P unchanged.

I opened the three pages above (all HTTP 200). I did not re-read company 16892858. I did not repeat last recon’s ICAS Regulation Strategy / Starting up in practice / 2026 AML Declaration / Find a CA pass, last Market discovery’s HMRC Annual UK VAT statistics 2024 to 2025 pass, last Companies in the space’s CIOT / ATT pass, last Market scenarios’ Making Tax Digital for Income Tax pass, last Competitor mapping’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 as the same pages, the 04:55 HMRC R&D Tax Credits Statistics September 2025 pass as the same pages, the 03:55 Faculty Office / Master of the Faculties notary pass, the 02:55 confirmation-statement / accounts / Corporation Tax deadline pass as the same pages, the 01:55 HMRC tax-adviser ASA / MMTAR pass, the 00:55 VAT / PAYE employer pass as the same pages, 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 as the same pages, 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 late-filing / ECCTA financial-penalty pages after Companies in the space filled at 15:55.

What stands is simple: next to the 02:55 annual-deadline map sits another official running-the-company fork — automatic late-accounts penalties (£150 to £1,500 private; doubled on successive late years) and the ECCTA financial-penalty track for confirmation-statement and other relevant offences (warning notice; comply in 28 days and no financial penalty; £250 to £2,000 by seriousness and repeat). 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 late-filing / ECCTA 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 MTD, Help to Grow / GGS, Innovate UK, confirmation / accounts deadlines, VAT / PAYE, Start Up Loans, DIY vs ACSP, and the director hub, while the official late-accounts and ECCTA financial-penalty consequence forks 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 £150–£1,500 late-filing table is easy to mistake for a market of “companies that miss deadlines FYJ could sell to.” Value starts to form only when a candidate can run end to end. This hour can show those official penalty figures 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 late-filing / ECCTA penalty forks is not that test finishing, and it is not a layer transfer.

Systemic effect: Market scenarios now shows a ninth dated filing (director hub; DIY vs ACSP / closing; Start Up Loans; VAT / PAYE; confirmation / accounts / CT deadlines; Innovate UK; Help to Grow / GGS; MTD for Income Tax; late-filing / ECCTA penalties), that the line stayed thin, and that P is unchanged. The £150–£1,500 / £250–£2,000 figures did not join market-paths.md as a path.

Alternatives rejected

• Sit on the 25 Aug stop. Hold is no invention, not no recon.
• Repeat last recon’s ICAS Regulation Strategy / Starting up in practice / 2026 AML Declaration / Find a CA pass, last Market discovery’s HMRC Annual UK VAT statistics 2024 to 2025 pass, last Companies in the space’s CIOT / ATT pass, last Market scenarios’ Making Tax Digital for Income Tax pass, last Competitor mapping’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 as the same pages, the 04:55 HMRC R&D Tax Credits Statistics September 2025 pass as the same pages, the 03:55 Faculty Office / Master of the Faculties notary pass, the 02:55 confirmation-statement / accounts / Corporation Tax deadline pass as the same pages, the 01:55 HMRC tax-adviser ASA / MMTAR pass, the 00:55 VAT / PAYE employer pass as the same pages, 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 as the same pages, the 18:55 ACRA / CGIUKI pass as the same pages, the 17:55 IA 1986 / 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, the 09:55 LSB State of Legal Services as sector-size pages, the 09:07 CLC Key Indicators, the 06:55 SRA population, the 22:55 Law Society / ICAEW directories as the same pages, the 22:22 ACSP/MCA companies-in-space pass as the same pages, the 04:55 register-activities bulletin, IDV-as-risk as the same pages, WebFiling, the 27 Aug 00:55 GOV.UK setup class map as the same pages, LSA as the same risk pages, founder/self, SIC neighbours, or the 26 Aug 21:55 ONS stock-size bulletin. That would have been the same sources twice.
• File another Companies in the space practice lane. ICAS filled that at 15:55.
• File another Market discovery size series. HMRC Annual UK VAT statistics filled that at 13:55.
• File another Competitor mapping headcount. ICAEW probate filled that at 10:55.
• File another Risk reduction AML register. TRS filled that at 07:55.
• Re-read Companies House 16892858. The register was fully read at 19:55 on 25 Aug.
• Treat late filers, companies that miss accounts, or directors facing Companies House penalties as who FYJ sells to. A penalty table is not a customer.
• Unpark the customer cut, or rewrite the live slot. You did not confirm that.
• Start Hermes. It stays parked.
• Invent a path because a £150–£1,500 late-filing table looks like a market. That would fake P.
• Install the customer cut. Forbidden. This hour is 16:55 recon.

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive.
1. Which recon area is weak — Market discovery is now nine filings and still thin; Companies in the space is now nine filings and still thin; Market scenarios is now nine filings and still thin; Competitor mapping is now nine filings and still thin; Risk reduction is now five constraints and still not a path?
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 / CIOT-ATT / VAT-population / ICAS-practice / late-filing-penalty 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 / CIOT-ATT / VAT-population / ICAS-practice / late-filing-penalty 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, VAT population 2,330,400 / 2,285,900 live, 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, CIOT over 20,600 / ATT over 10,000 Members and Fellows, ICAS more than 1,700 practising certificates / more than 800 supervised firms / ~850 firms, late accounts £150–£1,500 private / ECCTA financial penalties £250–£2,000), 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 late-filing penalty table 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.
4. 14:55 window closed at 16:25 with no reply. Proceeded without new founder input. The 08:55 window closed at 10:25 with no reply.
