Cease to use Routine 2-10, 2-12 and 2-12A in the HGC and Academy and on staff clearing except as follows:

Cases that RS on List One and whose goal cannot be found.

Cases that need R2-10, 2-12 or 2-12A completed or repaired.

Why?

3M suddenly emerged and is simpler than R2-10, 2-12 or 2-12A.

An auditor can turn off somebody’s RS and RR by using Routine 2-10, 2-12 and 2-12A wrongly, thus making it harder to find the goal and do 3M.

Routine 2-10, 2-12 and 2-12A can help find a goal. It can also submerge a goal when packages are not completed.

R2-10, 2-12, 2-12A Case Repair consists of completing any obvious package from Existing RIs.

3M, I repeat, emerged after Routine 2 and is easier to teach and use.

Do not leave a Routine 2 package of 4 from already found RIs incomplete because of this HCO Bulletin. Complete it. Avoid Long, Protested Listing as only this can mess up a pc’s RR or RS.

Routine 2-12 may be taught in an Academy but not used on students’ cases.

I am working on easily done Routine 2-GX which is a Goal Finding Routine consisting of the nearly exact pattern of a Problems Intensive but asking a different question, which adds up to listing times in the pc’s life when his purpose was baulked and assessing and running as in a Problems Intensive.

More goals are being delivered by ordinary Problems Intensives than by Routine 2-12.

R2-12 is a highly successful process but fails in some hands.
