The co-audit has Just come back into its own.

• HCOB 29 May 80RA Co-audit Series 2RA Rev. 20.4.90 CO-AUDITS: HOW TO RUN THEM

The introduction of the Purification Rundown has brought thousands flocking into orgs and missions around the world and from the wins being reported on this very basic action we can be assured that, with standard handling, this flow will continue.

Already we have a vast public fresh from the Purification Rundown and ready for all the gain awaiting them on their next steps on the Bridge. We have entire staffs through Purifica­tion and poised at the starting line for their next enhance­ment action.

With so many now prepared for and in vital need of the technical levels that follow Purification, how do we get all of this tech delivered?

The answer: Co-Audits.

The term "co-auditing" is an abbreviation for "cooperative auditing."

A Co-Audit is: A team of any two people who are helping each other reach a better life with Scientology or Dianetics Processing.

The co-audit is an early Scientology and Dianetics inno­vation.

It is a cooperative action toward a very worthwhile goal.

It was the bright idea used in the early days to get a lot of auditing done in more volume and on a broader scale than would ever have been possible on a one-for-one basis at that time. It was also the means of training the many who were demanding training in this new technology, and providing them with the opportunity to get their own cases handled while at the same time giving them a subjective reality on the processes they were delivering to others.

Co-audits are our quickest and most economical way of restoring vitality and purpose to the society, something I know all Scientologists are working with me to achieve.

Co-audits can handle the many, staff and public alike, who are reaching for those auditing actions meant to bring them up through the next levels toward Clearing and who are willing to bootstrap their way up through these levels.

The purpose of a Co-Audit is to get Co-Auditors up the Grade Chart.

Co-auditing is not a limited activity. Any pair of Scientologists who have the interest and desire to help each other up the Grade Chart can co-audit.

Rundown co-audits are especially designed co-audit packages set up to permit co-audit team members, regardless of their training or lack of it, to audit each other through the full steps of a specific rundown.

There are beginners' co-audits for new people. There are professional co-audits for trained auditors. Where specially designed co-audit packages are issued, non-professional co-audits can now be conducted for public on some of the first steps of the Grade Chart. Co-audits (professional and non-professional) should always be available for staff.

Included in a rundown co-audit would be any and all study and training steps needed to prepare co-auditors to successfully audit each other to the full EP of that specific rundown.

The Method One Co-audit is one example of a specific rundown co-audit. The checksheet for this co-audit (HCO PL 25 Sept. 79R III) provides the technical theory and practical steps necessary to enable two co-auditors to take each other through Method One Word Clearing to full completion and EP of the action. It is a very popular action, easy to do, and gives tremendous case wins. It does not require professional auditor or word clearer training; one can simply do the Hubbard Method One Co-audit Course Checksheet with a twin.

The HAS Co-Audit is for new public who have had no pre­vious experience with the subject of auditing at all. Under very close supervision and using processes which undercut most reality levels, it gives a person new to Scientology his first taste of auditing, both as an auditor and as a preclear.

Other co-audit packages on specific rundowns may be released from time to time. These rundown co-audit packages would be carefully planned and tailored to include the minimal but correct and necessary training gradients for delivery to public as well as staff.

The co-auditors do "muzzled" auditing which means that the auditor says only two things. He gives the command and acknowledges the answer to that command. If the preclear says anything that is not an answer to the command the auditor nods his head and awaits an answer before giving an acknowl­edgement. If he runs into any difficulty the auditor puts his hand out behind him and waits for the supervisor to come and handle the situation.

This does not mean that, in the absence of such a package for a specific rundown, co-auditing could not be done. Auditors trained in the skills of a level or a particular rundown could co-audit that rundown, provided they are at that level pc-wise and training-wise. The co-audit would need to be organized and be properly supervised and C/Sed throughout, but the organization could be as minimal as providing a set-up for one such co-audit team.

HAS co-audits are a fabulously successful way of in­troducing new public to the gains available to them through auditing and training. HAS co-auditors discover for them­selves, through giving and receiving auditing, that Scientology and Dianetic auditing is workable technology which enables them to help others and be helped in return.

HAS co-auditors frequently attain greatly improved levels of communication, responsibility and certainty. Some have major case gain.

A professional co-audit is a co-audit between auditors trained on the skills of a level who are auditing each other on that level. (A nonprofessional co-audit is one designed for co-auditors who have not had professional auditor training.) Professional co-audits have long been a favored and highly successful method whereby Scientologists can move up the auditing and training sides of the Bridge.

Professional co-audits are for auditors who are doing the Professional Training Route and for auditors who have completed their training but haven't themselves moved up the Grades.

Rundown co-audits are especially designed co-audit pack­ages set up to permit co-audit team members, regardless of their training or lack of it, to audit each other through the full steps of that rundown.

Academy and Saint Hill Special Briefing Course students could and should co-audit and get themselves up the Grade Chart as they go, in pace with their training.

Included in a rundown co-audit are any and all study and training steps needed to prepare co-auditors to successfully audit each other to the full EP of the rundown.

Professional co-auditing can be done following each auditor training course. It can also be done on special co-audits set up by orgs so that these auditors can continue to co-audit under the supervision of org tech terminals and use org facilities.

Such co-audits for public students would be charged for at a nominal rate and would include C/Sing, etc. A student can get all of his Grades and New Era Dianetics auditing on these co-audits.

The Survival Rundown, currently being released, is the first individual rundown to be offered as a co-audit package. It takes co-auditors, even those with no previous tech train­ing, and trains them up to do a very proficient job of deliver­ing the Survival Rundown to one another - and has them deliver­ing it as they learn.

This rundown co-audit gets the co-auditors into session, giving and receiving processing on the Survival Rundown, with tremendously successful results – and FAST.

Orgs do not have the license to offer public nonprofessional co-audits on Grade 0-IV processing or on NED (New Era Dianetics).

Training courses are already very much streamlined.

It is expected that co-audit packages on other rundowns will be released from time to time in the future. These run­down co-audit packages would be carefully planned and tailored to include the minimal but correct and necessary training gra­dients for delivery to public as well as staff.

Any public interested in co-auditing the Grades and New Era Dianetics should be routed onto the Academy Levels and the NED Course where they can rapidly complete their study and get onto the professional co-audits.

This does not mean that, in the absence of such a pack­age for a specific rundown, co-auditing could not be done. Auditors trained in the skills of a level of a particular rundown could co-audit that rundown, provided they are at that level pc-wise and training-wise. The co-audit would need to be organized and be properly supervised and C/Sed throughout, but the organization could be as minimal as providing a set­up for one such co-audit team.

Thus an org's concentration as far as public co-audits go would be on Div 6 co-audits, any specific rundown co-audit packages and professional co-audits on the Grades and New Era Dianetics.

A professional co-audit is a co-audit between auditors trained on the skills of a level who are auditing each other on that level.

Staff co-audits are by far the most advantageous method for an org to ensure its staff get and stay in good case shape and move on up the Bridge.

Professional co-audits have long been a favored and high­ly successful method whereby Scientologists could move up the auditing and training sides of the Bridge.

A well-run staff co-audit is the answer to the problem of how an org gets all its staff audited.

Professional co-audits are for auditors who are doing the Professional Training Route and for auditors who have completed their training but haven't themselves moved up the Grades. Professional co-audits are offered in Department 11 (Depart­ment of Training).

The staff co-audit can be arranged to be done by trained staff auditors (teamed with each other) and/or untrained staff (teamed with each other).

Academy and Briefing Course students could and should co­-audit and get themselves up the Grade Chart as they go, in pace with their training.

It can include any processing from the beginning of the Grade Chart up through New Era Dianetics as well as processing on special rundowns designed for co-audit purposes.

Professional co-auditing can be done following each au­ditor training course. It can also be done on special co-au­dits set up by orgs so that these auditors can continue to co-audit under the supervision of org tech terminals and use org facilities.

In the case of untrained staff co-auditing, this would ideally begin with the TRs and Objectives Co-audit Course. As part of the co-audit, the staff member would first be trained on TRs for co-audit level and Upper Indocs and then co-audit with his twin on a full battery of Objectives, as directed by the C/S.

Such co-audits for public students would be charged for at a nominal fee and would include C/Sing, etc.

Following this, the untrained staff co-auditors would need to be gradiently programed and C/Sed and taken step-by-step through the next Grade Chart action on a"read-it, drill-it, do-it" basis.

A person can get all of his New Era Dianetics and Grades auditing on these co-audits.

"Read-it, drill-it, do-it" means:

1. The co-auditors twin up and study and check each other out on the basic issues and skills for the process or Grade to be audited.

Orgs do not have the license to offer public non-pro­fessional co-audits on NED (Full NED Programs) or the Grades.

2. They drill the actual actions involved in running the process, under tight supervision of a trained Co-audit Supervisor.

Training courses are already very much streamlined.

3. They then audit each other on the process to EP, under the tight guidance of a trained Co-audit Supervisor.

Any public interested in co-auditing New Era Dianetics or the Grades should be routed on to the NED Course or the Academy Levels where they can rapidly complete their study and get on to the professional co-audits.

Thus an org's concentration as far as public co-audits go would be on Div 6 co-audits, specific rundown co-audit packages and professional co-audits on New Era Dianetics and the Grades.

The Grade Chart is the guiding factor in any co-audit. One doesn't audit a pc on processes or rundowns above his Grade in violation of the Grade Chart, regardless of where the auditing is done or whether it is an HGC type of action or a co-audit action.

Staff co-audits are by far the most advantageous method for an org to ensure its staff get and stay in good case shape and move on up the Bridge.

On any co-audit, the process to be run is determined by the C/S and he uses the Grade Chart as the basic pc program in each individual case.

A well-run staff co-audit is the answer to the problem of how does an org, already short on auditors, get all its staff audited.

HCO PL 23 July 69, AUDITOR ASSIGNMENT POLICIES, and HCOB 21 Dec. 79, AUDITOR ASSIGNMENT POLICIES, CRAMMING ASSIGNMENT POLICIES, provide the guidelines for pairing up co-auditors of comparable case level and training level.

The staff co-audit can be arranged to be done by trained staff auditors (teamed with each other) and/or untrained staff (teamed with each other).

It can include any processing from the beginning of the Grade Chart up through Expanded Grade IV as well as processing on special rundowns designed for co-audit pur­poses.

Co-audits are for use. They spark immediate interest. They quickly bring people up to doingness. There is no better exchange for the auditing one gets than to deliver it to another and that in itself produces gain. They are the fastest, most satisfying method of getting lots of auditing delivered, of making lots of Releases and providing actual auditing experience.

In the case of untrained staff co-auditing, this would ideally begin with the Survival Rundown Co-Audit, in which the staff member is trained on Co-Audit TRs and Upper Indocs and then co-audits with his twin on a full battery of Ob­jectives and other actions, to completion of the Rundown.

If you want to turn your org scene into one of a bustling beehive of activity, get your co-audits established and running. It is within the means of any org to do so.

Following this, the untrained staff co-auditors would need to be gradiently programmed and C/Sed and taken step-by-step through the next Grade Chart action on a "read-it, drill-it, do-it" basis.

"Read-it, drill-it, do-it" means:

1. The co-auditors twin up and study and check each other out on the basic issues and skills for the process or Grade to be audited.

2. They drill the actual actions involved in running the process, under tight supervision of a trained Co-Audit Supervisor.

3. They then audit each other on the process to EP, under the tight guidance of a trained co-audit supervisor.

Do you want to see an immediate upsurge in staff morale, activity level and enthusiasm? Establish a staff co-audit.

Specifics on setting up staff co-audits and how to super­vise and run them are covered in HCOB 30 May 1980, Co-Audit Series 3, Staff Co-Audits and HCOB 29 May 1980, Co-Audit Ser­ies 2, Co-Audits: How To Run Them.

The Grade Chart is the guiding factor in any co-audit.

One doesn't audit a pc on processes or rundowns above his Grade in violation of the Grade Chart regardless of where the auditing is done or whether it is an HGC type of action or a co-audit action.

The development of public and staff co-audits and the HAS Co-audit can be followed in the numerous materials issued over the years on the subject, a list of which is included below:

• Tech Volume II, Page 162, Section 7.

• HCOB 13 Jun 1957 Student Intensives & Co-Auditing Processes

• HCOB 22 Dec 1958 New HGC Process (A New Straightwire)

• HCOB 10 Mar 1959 Supplemental Data Sheet To HCO Bulletin of Feb 16, 1959

Tapes:

• 5905C12 6 LACC-1 Clearing

• HCOB 2 Feb AD10 The Co-Audit Team

• HCO PL 23 Jan 1961PE Course Abolished

• HCOB 15 Mar AD12 Suppressors

• HCO PL 17 Jun 1963 Staff Clearing Program

• HCO PL 19 Mar 1964 Staff Regulations, Staff Intensives

• HCOB 17 Feb 1974 Mutual Out Ruds

The processes contained in some of the above issues now appear at different levels of the Grade Chart or are pre-Grade processes, and they would only be co-audited in their correct sequence, as pre-Grades or on the Grades or Expanded Grades.

The Has Co-Audit as it is currently being delivered is covered in detail in FDD 234 DIV VI INT Series, the HAS Co-Audit Series 1-17.

Data on how to set up and supervise co-audits for spe­cific rundowns, NED and the Grades Processes is contained in HCOB 29 May 1980, Co-Audit Series 2, Co-Audits: How To Run Them. That issue and Co-Audit Series 3 give full information on running Staff Co-Audits.

One would use the entire Co-Audit Series and its refer­ences to deliver successful co-audits of any kind.

The Grade Chart, HCO PL 23 July 1969, auditor assign­ment polices and HCOB 21 Dec 1979, C/S Series 107, Auditor Assignment Policies, etc., provide the guidelines for pair­ing up co-auditors and for the co-audit processes to be run.

Co-Audits are for use. They spark immediate interest. They quickly bring people up to doingness. There is no bet­ter exchange for the auditing one gets than to deliver it to another and that in itself produces gain. They're the fast­est, most satisfying method of getting lots of auditing de­livered, of making lots of Releases and providing actual au­diting experience.

If you want to turn your org scene into one of a bus­tling beehive of activity, get your co-audits established and running. It is within the means of any org to do so.
