Risk reduction filed. Stronger as a constraint. No path named.

Headline. Standing job is other recon, not stop. This hour read the public UK statute and regulator pages on reserved legal activities — a real constraint that would make a fake “legal services” path dangerous. I have not named a market. P has not moved.

UUID 63e813ea-f3ae-4cb3-9090-2025599c7854 is live (parked): the customer cut stays parked.

Contract UUID 26e4abb6-3b66-4a66-a4f7-d4c065ad9233 is live. Hold = no invention, not no recon.

What the agent just did

Wrote market-path-research-2026-08-26-2355.md.

Area: Risk reduction.
Last found: Legal Services Act 2007 reserved legal activities (s.12 list; s.14 offence) plus SRA firm-authorisation guidance.
Verdict: stronger — as a constraint on invention only.
P unchanged.

I opened Legal Services Act 2007 section 12 (HTTP 200), the Part 3 reserved-legal-activities cross-heading (HTTP 200), section 14 (HTTP 200), the SRA firm-authorisation page (HTTP 200), and the Legal Services Board reserved-activities FAQ (HTTP 200). I did not re-read company 16892858. I did not repeat last hour’s Law Society or ICAEW directories, the ACSP/MCA pass, the 20:55 SIC pages, or the 21:55 ONS bulletin.

Section 12 names six reserved legal activities in England and Wales: right of audience; conduct of litigation; reserved instrument activities; probate activities; notarial activities; administration of oaths. Section 14 makes it an offence to carry those on without entitlement. The SRA says reserved work may only be provided by someone authorised by an approved regulator.

That is a checkable constraint on inventing a path that would drop FYJ into reserved legal work without authorisation. 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 reserved-activity fact fills a risk 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: Risk reduction sitting as a blank card after Competitor mapping was filed. 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 reserved-activity statute tells you which invented paths would be legally dangerous. Value starts to form only when a candidate can run end to end. This hour can show the constraint is 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.

Systemic effect: Risk reduction is no longer a blank card. It now shows a filed statutory constraint, that the constraint line got stronger, and that P is unchanged.

Alternatives rejected

• Sit on the 25 Aug stop. Hold is no invention, not no recon.
• Repeat Law Society / ICAEW, ACSP/MCA, SIC neighbours, or ONS size. That would have been the same sources twice.
• Re-read Companies House 16892858. The register was fully read at 19:55 on 25 Aug.
• Invent a “legal services for founders” candidate so the hour looks end-to-end. That would fake P and ignore the constraint.
• Unpark the customer cut, or rewrite the live slot. You did not confirm that.

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive.
1. Which recon area is weak — Risk reduction is now filed and stronger as a constraint; Market scenarios is still empty?
2. Which line should I deepen — the reserved-activity constraint, or leave it and move to another empty area?
3. Which line should I drop — none of the filed constraints yet, or drop something earlier that is only context?

Current levers (working set, not exhaustive)

1. Market-path compounding — standing, not P until you accept a path. A risk constraint is not a name.
2. The parked customer cut.
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 LSA/SRA reserved-activity pass, the Law Society/ICAEW pass, the ACSP/MCA pass, the 20:55 classification pages, or the 21:55 bulletin. Dead link is a failed publish. Unauthenticated 401 is the login gate.
