The only reasons a PTS RD does not work are:

• C/S error: 1. Not doing one at all.
• C/S error: 2. Doing one in the middle of another RD.
• C/S error: 3. Doing one without set-up, including a complete PTS C/S-1.
• C/S error: 4. The person was not PTS – which is to say was not chronically ill or roller-coaster and the items or flows didn’t read.
• Auditor error:5. The RD was badly run auditor-wise. R3R was bad, metering poor, ruds not correctly or fully done.
• Auditor & C/S error: 6. The RD was quickie, only doing step (a) and brushing it off.
• C/S error: 7. Even though the whole RD was done fully, there remained on the case an undetected additional person or thing to which the pc was PTS.

The rules of PTS are

• A person who roller-coasters is always PTS.
• A person who is chronically ill always is PTS.
• A Pts rundown that does not work has not been done as per 1 to 7 above.

The remedies to the above are

1. Do it.

2. Pgm it in correct sequence.

3. Set the case up properly so it is running well and past errors handled.

4. Establish how well the person holds his gains before pgming one. If any Q at all, do the RD.

5. Cram the auditor on TRs, metering, R3RA drills and ruds. Do L4BRA,… L3RF on the pc and handle accordingly.

6. Complete the rundown.

7. 2WC “What is your attention on?” to F/N. On PTS Rundown fly all ruds single; L&N “On the PTS Rundown what being or thing was missed?”; R3RA Triple or Quad on it; fly all ruds and overts on it Triple or Quad; run “Can’t Have/Enforce Have” Triple or Quad. If all not very okay now L&N “What other subject or people might have been overlooked on the PTS Rundown?” and handle the item on each step of the rundown per HCOB 9 Dec 71RC, Rev. 8 Dec 78 PTS RUNDOWN.

A PTS RD always works. If it works with a relapse there is an error in it as in the numbered paras above.

This is vital tech to the pc. It makes the most difficult cases fly if it is done right.
