Off-payroll working (IR35) filed. Market scenarios stayed thin. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read the GOV.UK / HMRC off-payroll working (IR35) pages — Understanding off-payroll working, Check employment status for tax (CEST), Deemed employer responsibilities, Off-payroll working for clients, and the ESM10006A size-threshold note — not another AAT licensed-membership pass. I have not named a market. A contractor-intermediary class map 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.

Area: Market scenarios.
Last found: Off-payroll working (IR35). Understanding off-payroll working (IR35) (HTTP 200; last updated 26 February 2026) — worker through own intermediary (usually a personal service company) pays broadly the same Income Tax and National Insurance as an employee would if they would have been an employee providing services directly; small client outside the public sector leaves status to the intermediary; mid/large and public-sector clients determine status; contract-by-contract; deemed employer deducts Income Tax and employee NI and pays employer NI. Check employment status for tax (CEST) (HTTP 200; last updated 30 April 2025) — HMRC tool; result can be used as a valid status determination statement. Deemed employer responsibilities (HTTP 200; last updated 8 August 2024) — calculate deemed direct payment; deduct Income Tax and employee NI; pay employer NI / Apprenticeship Levy; RTI with off-payroll-worker indicator; disagreement response within 45 days. Off-payroll working for clients (HTTP 200; last updated 30 August 2024) — medium / large if two or more of turnover more than £10.2 million / balance sheet more than £5.1 million / more than 50 employees (current public page); small clients confirm size if asked; SDS with conclusion and reasons; reasonable care. ESM10006A + Employer Bulletin April 2025 (both HTTP 200) — from 6 April 2025 accounting periods, small thresholds rise to turnover not more than £15 million / balance sheet not more than £7.5 million (employees ≤50 unchanged); HMRC notes no practical OPW impact until 6 April 2027 at the earliest. Running-the-company / contractor-intermediary class map with / between / above next to VAT, PAYE, confirmation / accounts, MTD, and late-filing penalties. Not a FYJ path.
Verdict: stayed thin — Who / why / how / next still missing.
P unchanged.

I opened the six pages above (all HTTP 200). I did not re-read company 16892858. I did not repeat last recon’s AAT licensed-membership / growth / Find an accountant or bookkeeper / FRC Key Facts 2025 pass, last Market discovery’s HMRC Corporation Tax Statistics 2025 collection / commentary / background pass, last Competitor mapping’s Law Society of Scotland AGM / trainee-statistics / public / annual-report / Find a Solicitor pass, last Market scenarios’ late-filing / Pay a penalty / ECCTA financial-penalty pass, last Companies in the space’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 as the same pages, 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 (England & Wales) 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 IR35 / CEST / deemed-employer / client-size pages after Companies in the space filled at 19:55.

What stands is simple: next to VAT, PAYE, confirmation / accounts, MTD, and late-filing penalties sits another official running-the-company fork — off-payroll working through a personal service company, with small vs mid/large vs public client, SDS vs intermediary self-determination, and CEST as the HMRC status tool. 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 IR35 / CEST / deemed-employer / client-size 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 the late-filing / ECCTA penalty fork, while the off-payroll working / IR35 contractor-intermediary class map 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 IR35 class map is easy to mistake for a market of “contractors / PSCs that FYJ could sell to.” Value starts to form only when a candidate can run end to end. This hour can show those official rules 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 an IR35 class map is not that test finishing, and it is not a layer transfer. The 17:15 close already scored this cycle no / no.

Systemic effect: Market scenarios now shows a tenth dated filing (GOV.UK setup; DIY vs ACSP / structure / closing; Start Up Loans; VAT / PAYE; confirmation / accounts / CT; Innovate UK; Help to Grow / GGS; MTD for Income Tax; late-filing / ECCTA; IR35 / CEST / SDS / small vs mid-large client), that the line stayed thin, and that P is unchanged. The IR35 class map 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 discovery is now ten filings and still thin; Companies in the space is now ten filings and still thin; Market scenarios is now ten filings and still thin; Competitor mapping is now ten 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 / Law-Society-of-Scotland / CT-receipts / AAT-licensed / IR35-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 / Law-Society-of-Scotland / CT-receipts / AAT-licensed / IR35 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, CT receipts £97.2bn / 1.6 million with no liability / 190,700 main rate / 962,300 small profit rate, Law Society / ICAEW directories, SRA / CLC / CILEx Regulation / IPReg / BSB / CLSB / Faculty Office 747 / ICAEW probate 321 / Law Society of Scotland 13,300 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, Law Society of Scotland 13,300 practising / 796 traineeships, AAT more than 6,000 licensed / 59% seven-year growth / 840,000 SMEs, IR35 / CEST / SDS / small vs mid-large / £10.2m–£15m size thresholds), 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 IR35 class 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.
  4. 17:15 already scored this cycle no / no. Both 08:55 and 14:55 windows closed with no reply.

Do not install the customer cut. Dead link is a failed publish. Unauthenticated 401 is the login gate.
