The stats at AOLA are definitely crashed.
The time periods between Mags (Issues 157, 158,159 and 160)
are spread out fairly even so it reflects a rather accurate
picture.
It looks like the big UPSTAT in Issue 159 was nothing more
than a "backlog" at the AOLA that finally got handled, I am
pretty sure it had to do with the big push from the OT Ambassadors
and they managed to get the "Products that could easily be
completed" per the debug tech. [Errrr... the debug tech has
nothing to do with handling bt's :-} ]
What it means is that there were a few Clears and OT's
sitting in the LA field that could easily have been
gotten back onto service.
As I expected they did not maintain a continued uptrend.
Recent reports from Tory say that a visit to L. Ron
Hubbard Way showed a very non active street.
I think the "easy" starts were put through the
Scn mill and we now we are going to see a steady
decline of OT's made. Or maybe I should say that
this decline will continue until the next massive push.
Addtionally as Lulu Belle pointed out, it looks like they
did some kind of PAC Base sort out. It appears (but of
course this can change) that AOLA no longer delivers any
services below Clear except for OT Preps.

Hi Elder Goddess,
It may be of some interest for others to know
comparative stats from the freezone. These are not so easily determined
for many reasons.
Tommy Thomsons Freezone group has made 25 clears in approx
this same time period. This is solely the efforts of Tom himself.
He is an exceptional power terminal.
There are of course many other groups and people in the FZ. I believe
in terms of auditing the FZ may be now equalling the COS. We still lag
in training. But this applies to recent internet FZ groups. In
Europe, Rons Orgs, have been very successful. For example 50
people doing OT 3 seminars in one time. And people being trained.
They have successful USA members also. They do standard bridge to
OT 3. Been there 20 or so years!
We are free!! easy and loose. Even I ED FZAOINT do not know
all production at any moment. I can hear of someone with 6 people
on line and by chance. Some doing levels. A big push for SHBC.
And from the data I have, I believe most of the freezone is not
even communicating on the net.

Hi Deo,
Your probably in the ball park. Pilot saw it as ritual sec-checking.
That is now quite close.
The FZ is free. Free to have idiots. To paraphrase the bible, "the idiots
will always be with us."
Also free to deliver with no arbitraries. And to explore, expand.

Cost $7000 each. It is a heavy education in word clearing and I don't regret doing it, just the price, false promises and time it took. We were told (regged)we would complete in 2 weeks and it took one year. My take is that KTL is for someone with less then a college education and the CS thinks this person may have a hard time duplicating LRH. Like a Movie Star, Real Estate Agent, Musician, Artist, Contractor and so on. Maybe someone who likes detours on the bridge with expendible income. It does cost over a half million dollars+ to get to OT 8. I don't think this new public is going waste their time looking up the def of a or you, pronouns (et al.). Word clear all the definitions to VGIs and maybe become a better money maker. Past and current failed successful money making history after doing KTL and LOC is the reason for curent down-stat comps in my opinion.

I'm trying to think what would cause a huge affluence in comps around June and July like this. A couple of ideas based on what's I've seen done in the past: 1) A special OT Package that ended around the end of the Birthday Game in March. (This means that people get a discount on their services if they buy a lot of them together, like Solo through OT III plus a few intensives of Preps.). 2) A special Service Completion Award. This is a cerain amount of money that a person gets back after completing a service, that he gets to put towards his next service. Uusally, if I recall correctly, he has to stay and complete the next service to get it. This keeps the guy around to complete a block of services. Generally, this kind of stuff is offered before the end of the Birthday Game, to push the GI and Arrivals stats up. Sometimes management decides to continue them for a period of time after the Birthday Game is over to keep stats from crashing right after March. A big GI and Arrivals push around March would give a big affluence in comps around mid-summer. Cerri, if you get Advance, you must get other promo from the orgs. Do you read it? Do you remember seeing a lot of OT Package promo or promo about SCAs earlier in the year? If you do get other promo, it would be a good idea to read it. I'd love to see you post about it. This gives important info about management's and the org's current "strategy" to get stats up.

The AOLA stats are most definitely CRASHED!! As you've said, I have driven by periodically and am forever amazed at what a ghost town the complex is, from what it used to be in it's hay day. I remember people bustling around really all of the orgs. Now....? Well, you've posted the most important thing: The actual stats of completions. We should see if we could get a comp list from years ago, to show the comparison. Good grief, when Dianetic Clear came out there was SUCH a flood....two people have my Clear Number. Me and someone else. :) Best to you, Tory/Magoo!

I don't think they will get as big a jump in the next push but they will somehow manage to move the stats up again. It must be living hell to be a staff member right now, especially an SO member. Unless you've been there, you have no idea of the amount of pressure that the staff is put under. It's quite unpleasant. Nothing I would ever want to experience again.

I very rarely read the promo, [turns red] but I will start as I do think it's important to know about special deals being offered in order to do an more accurate analysis of the stats. For instance CCINT was offering some kind of deal where you get your Purif for $200.00 if you bought a major service and this explains why there Purif Comps were so high. > > If you do get other promo, it would be a good idea to read it.
