Reading Statistics
By L. Ron Hubbard
One can determine the condition of a stat by its slant on a graph.
Steep near vertical down: Non-Existence
Down: Danger
Slightly down or level: Emergency
Slightly up: Normal
Steeply up: Affluence
Power Trend
As Power is a trend (see later, Statistic Trends, Stat Interpretation), it is not judged by a single line on a graph. Power is a Normal trend maintained in a high, high range. Thus a Power Condition must be determined by more that one week’s worth of stats.
