but are being given them by Certs and Awards or  in  mass  meetings,  or  in
some way repeat sign-up is not being procured.

    Thus the 40% to 60% repeat sign-up business is being lost.

    This also means, if continued over a  long  period  of  time,  that  bad
technology is present as poor word-of-mouth advertising is going around.

    Look in such a case at a third statistic, Qual Collections. If  this  is
poor or very, very high, you can be sure that lack of enrollments is  caused
by bad tech.

    A very high Qual Collections statistic and a low enrollment statistic is
a terrible condemnation of the Tech Division. Gross income will  soon  after
collapse as tech service just isn't good.




                            COMPARING STATISTICS


    Thus you get the idea. Statistics are read against each other.

    A statistic is a difference between two or more periods in  time  so  is
always comparative.

    Also two different statistics are comparative such as in examples above.




                                 PREDICTION


    You can  predict  what  is  going  to  happen  far  in  advance  of  the
occurrence, using statistics.

    High book sales mean eventual prosperity. Low book sales  mean  eventual
emergency all along the line.

    High gross income and low completions mean eventual trouble as  the  org
isn't delivering but  is  "backlogging"  students  and  pcs  simply  by  not
getting results. Carried on long enough this means eventual civic and  legal
trouble.

    Low FSM commissions may only mean no FSM programme. But if there  is  an
FSM programme, then it may mean bad tech. So a low Completion and  low  Qual
will mean an eventual collapsed FSM statistic also as the FSM's own area  is
being muddied up by failed cases.

    High book sales, high letters out, high Tech and  high  Qual  statistics
mean the gross income statistic will soon rise. If these are low then  gross
income will fall.

    Bills owed and cash in hand are read by the  distance  between  the  two
lines. If it is narrowing, things are improving;  if  widening,  things  are
getting worse. If they are far apart and have not closed for a  long  while,
with the cash graph below, the  management  is  dangerous  and  not  at  all
alert.




                             THE DANGEROUS GRAPH


    All statistics on one set of graphs giving a sinking  trend  line  is  a
dangerous situation.

    One draws a trend line by choosing the mid-way point between  highs  and
lows and drawing a line.

    If all these lines or most of them are down, the management is inactive.
