Cerridwen's Analysis of Flag Stats in Source Magazine
As Cerridwen shows below, it's important to pay attention to the dates when Scientology magazines appear. What appears at first glance to be a rising statistic may turn out to be lower than the previous stat if the magazine covers a longer time period (say, three months instead of two).

Flag Stats- Analysis
No matter how much PR and hype exists, the hard evidence is that
Flag is not maintaining "unprecedented expansion".
When looking at these stats it is very important to note the time
span between Source Magazines and therefore the figuring of the
stats.
As you can see below the issuing of the Magazine is not consistent.
June 2001 Issue 134 572 [3 months]
Sept 2001 Issue 135 1603 [3 months]
Dec 2001 Issue 136 1368 [3 months]
Feb 2002 Issue 137 733 [2 months]
June 2002 Issue 138 1684 [4 months]
It would appear from looking at this that Flag has bounced back and
is producing the big numbers again but you have to realize that
Issue 137 reflects only 2 months production and Issue 138 reflects 4
months production.
If we divide this up by the number of months for an average
monthly stat, it would look like this.
April 2001 190
May 2001 190
June 2001 190
July 2001 534
Aug 2001 534
Sept 2001 534
Oct 2001 456
Nov 2001 456
Dec 2001 456
Jan. 2002 366.
Feb 2002 366
March 2002 421
April 2002 421
May 2002 421
June 2002 421
Ok now those are just raw numbers and don't reflect what is going
on.
When looking over the stats below there are really 3 sets of stats
that a Scn Exec would see just from knowing what all these course
completions mean.
There are the Processing or Auditing stats which would be number
of Clears, OT's and basic delivery of different Auditing Rundowns
to Paying Public.
One could even break that section down further and just look at
Clears and OT's made.
The next set of Stats would be Training stats. This would be
Courses delivered that made auditors, supervisors, word clearer,
and Execs.
The third set of stats would be the Div. 6 or New Public in stats.
These are usually the little courses designed to give people some
basic data about Scn. They are usually inexpensive. Flag never
really had much of a Div 6 because Flag doesn't really go after
brand new people. Flag's concentration is on Scientologists already
on the Bridge.
OK So lets look at A few of these Sets of Stats
TOTAL NUMBER OF COMPLETIONS CLEAR TO OT 7
This would include all these services.

Feb 2002 Issue 137 530 [2 months] Avg. 265
June 2002 Issue 138 483 [4 months] Avg. 121
Note: When I type this up I have nice neat columns but for some
reason they don't hold up when sending them in via the remailer.
So you can see that Flag did have a big jump in completions for
Clears and OTs made in the early part of 2002 "The Year of the
OT" but per the stats they have not kept the trend up and are going
back down again. This is quite interesting because the latest PR
from Church Management is all about how we must apply the
Affluence Formula.
The management is NOT in affluence but I believe they tell the
parishioners they are in Affluence or "upstat" so as to keep the
deluded ones from seeing the actual stats.
OK now lets look at the training stats.
This set of stats is calculated by adding all auditor completions and
prerequisites to becoming an auditor (such as the student hat).
Courses range from Dianetic Auditor Course to Class IX.
Date Issue # Total Average per month
Sept 2001 Issue 135 748 [3 months] Avg. 249
Dec 2001 Issue 136 596 [3 months] Avg. 199
Feb 2002 Issue 137 272 [2 months] Avg. 136
June 2002 Issue 138 548 [4 months] Avg. 137
In the training area you can see that overall the number of auditors
made is on a decline.
Now for more interesting numbers. The numbers below are part of
the training numbers above.
issue 135 136 137 138
Student Hat 89 36 13 35
Pro TR's 141 103 24 88
Upper Indoc TR's Course 131 118 22 80
Pro Metering Course 48 100 80 56
What are all these about???
If you look at the list of names that are connected to these numbers
here you will see that most (but not all) of these names are from
outer org (mostly Class V) staff.
This is part of a training line up.
The eequence is Student Hat, PRO TR's and Upper Indoc TR's and then
Metering Course
Some staff will have to do the PTS/SP course first and other staff
will stay on and do further training
The point is that the majority of these stats are NOT paying public
but are outer org staff being ordered to Flag to train. The outer orgs
do not have the money to pay for this training up front so they use
Training awards or the orgs are somehow put in debt to Flag and
have to pay weekly on the bill.
It's not totally a false picture of Flags production because Flag is
responsible for the training of the Class V org Staff but if you did
not know this you would think that Flag has loaded its course room
with paying public, all training to be auditors and it is just not the
case.
Bottom line: This is just a year and a half worth of stats. It doesn't
give the long term stat scene at Flag. A very nice person has sent
me some older Source Mags that I will be working on but I still
have many missing issues that would be needed to give an accurate
picture as to overall growth or contraction of Flag.
Right now all I can say is the stats are overall up from where they
were a year ago but they are not maintaining that "stellar range" the
C of S is bragging about. I do believe the stats went up because the
C of S "handled a backlog" meaning there were a bunch of Clears
and OT's off the bridge and a concerted effort was made to get
them on. That's been done and now the are left with beating the
same people over the head to do more courses.
Time will tell.
