Ideal Orgs | LRH vs COB
LRH — Founder of Dianetics and Scientology
ideal: “just as one would wish; the way something ought to be”
Thorndike Barnhart dictionary
“satisfying one’s idea of what is perfect”
Oxford American Dictionary
“conceived or regarded as perfect or supremely excellent in its kind; answering to one’s highest conception”
Oxford English Dictionary
As to how to judge what’s ideal for orgs:
“Only real VFPs [Valuable Final Products] count.”
HCO PL 28 February 1980
Org Series 41, Production and One’s Standard of Living
(OEC Vol. 0, p. 313)
David Miscavige — SELF-APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, RTC
For the past decade or so, COB has pronounced one org after another to be “ideal” based primarily on physical appearance, not actual production.
Scientology events and publications regularly feature pictures of posh but empty HGCs and course rooms in these new orgs.
This is so much the case that Class V org staff can routinely be heard talking about “buying their Ideal Org.”
One of many recent examples:
“When we purchased the Ideal Org at 701 Montgomery over five years ago and moved into the building, we assumed a 3.6 million dollar mortgage…”

Actual stats of these Ideal Orgs show very little auditor training, few if any Grades or NED co-audits, low G.I., and other major downstats.
