The five Gross Auditing Errors (GAEs) are:

1. Can’t handle and read an E-Meter.

2. Doesn’t know and can’t apply Technical data.

3. Can’t get and keep a pc in session.

4. Can’t complete an auditing cycle.

5. Can’t complete a repetitive auditing cycle. (Including repeating a command long enough to flatten a process.)

These are the only errors one looks for in straightening up the auditing of an Auditor.

The six things that can be wrong with a pc are:

1. Pc is Suppressive.

2. Pc is ALWAYS a Potential Trouble Source if he Roller Coasters and only finding the RIGHT suppressive will clean it up. No other action will. There are no other reasons for a Roller Coaster (loss of gain obtained in auditing).

3. One must never audit an ARC Broken pc for a minute even but must locate and indicate the by-passed charge at once. To do otherwise will injure the pc’s case.

4. A present time problem of long duration prevents good gain and sends the pc into the back track.

5. The only reasons a pc is critical are a withhold or a misunderstood word and there is NO reason other than those. And in trying to locate a withhold it is not a motivator done to the pc but something the pc has done.

6. Continuing overts hidden from view are the cause of no case gain (see number 1, Suppressive).

In getting in Tech one need only locate in the auditor (or self as an auditor) which of the 5 GAEs are being committed and, in the pc, which of the above six is out.

There are no reasons exterior to the 11 given. To get Tech In, requires getting the 5 in for auditors and the six in for pcs and after that, watching the 5 for auditors and 6 for pcs, running standard processes.

If you look for other reasons, this is itself a gross goof. There are no others.
