Simple maths & (my) time management If your PSP is OK, it takes me a total of 2 minutes to approve it; If your PSP is not OK, it takes me about 15 minutes to explain to you what is wrong and what must be corrected (and another 2 minutes to approve the corrected PSP); An incorrect PSP multiplies my workload by a factor of 8.5; We process about 300-400 PSPs every year, of which only about 10% are OK first time and about 10% require a 3rd round. One or two like it so much, they go for a 4th round  (important note: we cannot, and do not, give up).
