As our Org Board and Org pattern we have not only an Org Board but a "philosophical system", which gives us the levels of able and extra able beings and an analysis of one's own life as well.

Staff Members must personally make certain reports in writing.

If you look at the levels written above the departments you find the spans of the Bridge which are followed to Release, Clear and OT. You can easily see which ones are missing in one's own life and the lives of others. These are the upper end of the awareness scale.

Failure to make these reports involves the executive or staff member not making a report in any offence committed by a junior under him, or, in case of job endangerment, by a senior over him.

When you look at the department names you can see what is missing in your own life.

These reports are made to the Ethics Section of the Department of Inspection and Reports.

You can also see where your post or your job breaks down, for every job has all these "department names".

The report form is simple. One uses a clip board with a packet of his division's color flash paper on it. This includes a piece of pencil carbon paper. This is the same clip board and carbon one uses for his routine orders.

When you look at the Division names you see what the Cycle of Production must be in this Universe to be successful. By studying this you can see why other businesses fail. They lack one or another of these divisions.

It is a despatch form addressed simply to the Ethics Section. It is dated. It has under the address and in the center of the page the person or portion of the org's name. It then states what kind of a report it is (see below).

Although the organization seems to have a great many departments, and would fit only a large group, it fits any org of any size.

The original goes to Ethics by drawing an arrow pointing to "Ethics" and the carbon goes to the person or portion of the org being reported on by channels (B routing).

The problem presented me in deriving this board was how to overcome continual org changes because of expansion and applying it to organizations of different sizes. This board goes from one person to thousands without change. Just fewer or more posts are occupied. That is the only change.

The following are the reports required:

The staff ratio here is one administration person in the five non-technical divisions to one technical person in the Technical and Qualifications Divisions (excepting only staff staff auditors and field staff members who count as Admin personnel). Staff is added in rotation amongst the non-technical divisions every time a technical person is put in the Technical or Qualifications Divisions.

1. Damage Report. Any damage to anything noted with the name of the person in charge of it or in charge of cleaning it.

The board is entered from the left and proceeds to the right.

2. Misuse Report. The misuse or abuse of any equipment, material or quarters, meaning using it wrongly or for a purpose not intended.

It is actually a spiral with 7 higher than and adjacent to 1.

3. Waste Report. The waste of org material.

The organization corrects itself through the Review Division, under the authority of the 7th Division.

4. Idle Report. The idleness of equipment or personnel which should be inaction.

Organizations go in phases. The phases agree with the Cycle of Production.

5. Alter-Is Report. The alteration of design, policy, technology or errors being made in construction.

A forming org, unable yet to function fully, is a CLASS ZERO Org. It is only at Recognition and gives a Class Zero Course only and uses only Grade Zero processes. When it can give a Level 1 Course and use Grade I processes it is a Class 1 Org. And so on. The HGC of the org may not process above the class allowed in the Academy. The Review Case Cracking Unit only may use processes above the class of the Org and then only when its Review personnel are so authorized by Saint Hill.

6. Loss or Theft Report. The disappearance of anything that should be there giving anything known about its disappearance such as when it was seen last.

There are two tendencies Man has that this board resolves.

7. A Found Report. Anything found, sending the article with the despatch or saying where it is.

Man's systems are based on groups and masses of people.

8. Non-Compliance Report. Non-Compliance with legal orders.

Every person on this Org Board is "statistized". That means the job he does is a statistic that can be verified. He is not lost in a group.

9. Dev-T Report. Stating whether Off-Line, Off-Policy or Off-Origin and from whom to whom and subject.

The tendency of filling up every box indicated on an organization chart (which Man usually does) is checked by the formula that there must be only one Admin staff member for every tech as above. Thus Divisions 5 and 6 *version: 4 and 5 are heavy with personnel containing five times as many as all the other divisions.

10. Error Report. Any error made.

In expanding, each department acquires seven sections, every section then acquires seven sub-sections, every sub-section acquires seven units.

11. Misdemeanor Report. Any misdemeanor noted.

At this time of issue we find Scientology itself just at the end of its Dissemination Cycle (Division 2) and just entering upon the Organization Cycle (Division 3). There will be a full and long Organization Cycle. This will eventually be followed by a Qualifications Cycle in which we adjust civilization. After that will come a Distribution Cycle in which we use Scientology elsewhere in the Universe, and then will come the Source Cycle again, finding us all on a higher plane.

12. A Crime Report. Any crime noted or suspected but if suspicion only it must be so stated.

This pattern will probably be in use for a very long time.

13. A High Crime Report. Any high crime noted or suspected but if only suspected must be so stated.

This board is one of the very few things in Scientology which is not completely new. It is taken from an ancient organization and which I have refined through considerable experience by adding Scientology and our levels to it. It is based on an extremely successful pattern.

14. A No-Report Report. Any failure to receive a report or an illegible report or folder.

This org pattern is designed not to make money or Scientologists as one might think. Its whole purpose is to make the "Ability to Better Conditions", which is the mission of Scientology.

15. A False Report Report. Any report received that turned out to be false.

16. A False Attestation Report. Any false attestation noted, but in this case the document is attached to the report.

Your main interest in this board is of course its levels.

17. An Annoyance Report. Anything about which one is annoyed, giving the person or portion of an org or org one is annoyed with, but the Department of Inspection and Reports and a senior org are exempt and may not be reported on.

There are over thirty-two levels to the left of the board, covering the average human states.

18. A JOB Endangerment Report. Reporting any order received from a superior that endangered one's job by demanding one alter or depart from known policy, the orders of a person senior to one's immediate superior altered or countermanded by one's immediate superior, or advice from one's immediate superior not to comply with orders or policy.

Our board shows how we move up onto the Bridge at Communications (Level 0), and then progress division by division to Level VII. One Division equals one Level left to right.

19. Technical Alter-Is Report. Any ordered alteration of technology not given in an HCOB, book or LRH tape.

The abilities recovered in these levels are marked above the department names (Communication, Perception, Orientation, Understanding, etc.) and take us all the way to a new state at VII.

20. Technical Non-Compliance Report. Any failure to apply the correct technical procedure.

As he progresses along this line left to right, a level is given the person each time a division is passed.

21. Knowledge Report. On noting some investigation is in progress and having data on it of value to Ethics.

At Level V we find we can move people from the lowest human states onto the Bridge, before we ourselves exit at the top.

These reports are simply written and sent. One does not expect an executive to front up to personnel who err. One does expect an executive to make a report routinely on the matter, no matter what the executive also does.

Thus we leave behind us a Bridge.

Only in this way can bad spots in the organization be recognized and corrected. For reports other than one's own collect and point out bad conditions before those can harm the org.

In 1950 when I said "For God's sake Build a Better Bridge," I had to do it on my own.

But here it is, not only a bridge but also an organization to carry the weight of the spanning, a very needful thing.

These reports are filed by Ethics in the Ethics files in the staff member's folder or in the folder of the portion of the org. A folder is only made if Ethics receives an Ethics Report.

Unless the staff member is part of a portion or an org that is under a state of Emergency, FIVE such reports can accumulate before Ethics takes any action. But if the report is deemed very serious, Ethics may take action at once by investigating.

If a State of Emergency existed in that portion of the org or org, ONE report can bring about a Court of Ethics as there is no leeway in an Emergency Condition.

[Note: See HCO P/L 15 December 1969, Class of Orgs (Basic Staff Volume 0, page 254), which cancels classes of Orgs and permits any official Org to "perform and teach any Class or Grade up to IV".]

The most serious reports, which are the only ones taken up at once, are technical alter-is, non-compliance, any false reports, false attestations, no reports, misdemeanours, crimes and high crimes. The others are left to accumulate (except in Emergency when all reports on that portion or org are taken up at once).

An amnesty for a portion or an org or a general amnesty can be declared by the Office of LRH Saint Hill. An amnesty will be effective up to a date three months before it is issued. The Ethics files are therefore nullified previous to the date declared in the Amnesty.

An amnesty signalizes a feat of considerable moment by a portion of an org or an org or Scientology.

An HCO Executive Letter can compliment a portion of an org or an org and wipe out the Ethics Piles of the portion of an org or the org complimented. An award is usually added for the persons responsible.

An individual may clean his own file by approaching Ethics and offering to make amends.

The person may be shown but may not touch his Ethics files which are always kept locked when the office is empty. The person should present a written and signed Amends Project Petition to Ethics. Ethics attaches the person's file to it and sends it safely to the Office of LRH "Ethics Authority Section". If accepted as adequate amends by the Office of LRH it is authorized by the "Ethics Authority Section" and returned to Ethics which places it on its "Projects Time Machine".

When accomplished the Amends Project is taken off the Time Machine and forwarded to the Inspections Section which inspects and verifies it is done and sends all to the Office of LRH "Ethics Authority Section" which then authorizes the retirement of the reports on the person.

If the project comes off the Time Machine without being done, the matter goes at once to a Court of Ethics.

Any Amends Project must benefit the org and be beyond routine duties. It may not only benefit the individual. Offers to "get audited at own expense in Review" are acceptable as auditing will benefit everyone.

"To get trained at own expense up to ..... and serve the org two years afterwards" is acceptable amends. But the person's staff pay is also suspended entirely during any auditing or training undertaken as amends. "To get another department's files in order on my own time" would be acceptable amends. Getting a celebrity into Scientology would be acceptable amends. No work one would normally do himself on post is acceptable amends. A donation or fine would not be acceptable amends. Doing what one should do anyway is not amends, it is the expected. No org funds may be employed in an Amends Project.

No amends are thereafter accepted if the person has failed to complete an amends project since the effective date of the last amnesty applying to the person's portion or org.

Any bonus specifically given by the person's name also cleans the person's Ethics Files without comment.

The responsibility for handling the cleaning of files is that of the Ethics Section of the Department of Inspection and Reports which notes amnesties, compliments and specific bonus awards and handles its Ethics files accordingly.

No Amends Projects may be accepted except through the Office of LRH and a superior may not bring a junior who wishes his files cleaned by Amends into Ethics and assist him to make the proper project applications. It must be voluntarily done by the junior.

No amnesties, compliments or bonuses may be made or declared except by the Office of LRH and authorized also from Saint Hill.
