Delicious friends, after receiving your feedback, we're delighted to announce that it's now possible to change your Person of Some Importance specialisation!
Beginning today, you will now be able to change the specialisation at a cost of 12 Notability or 15 Fate. There are no limits to how many times you may change it. You will keep any bonuses you have added to your stats.
As a further update, patrons can now also invite non-Persons of Some Importance to be their Protégé.

Now I've been scratching my head for several minutes now, but I'm not any nearer to figuring it out. Could someone tell me what FLR stands for, please?

I think a pretty compelling reason for changing is the option to overcap all stats.

I can't actually change my specialization, because I have a deactivated protege that's been there for quite some time.

OK, I'm confused.
I see a new (0-action) option under Unfinished Business in Spite, called "Observe the Ambitious Barrister". It's locked for me, presumably because my base Shadowy is 199 at the moment (the option requires 12 more than my modified Shadowy, so I assume the requirements are Base Shadowy 200 + 12 Notability or something like that).
However, I see no other corresponding options in any of the other 3 Unfinished Business storylets.
Should these be visible or not?

Excellent!. Thank you.
So now it's possible (with much much patience) to switch POSI specialization and raise Renown for all factions as high as it an go.

I'm not sure if this is obvious and I'm missing something but when I check my POSI quality, it tells me I am a significant individual. The hover text tells me to raise all of my stats to 100 (I am nearing 200 in all 4 of them) and await the Ambitious Barrister. Did I miss something or is that just referencing her taking me to the Side Streets?
That's just referencing the side streets. Sometimes it tells you how to do things in their description.

Well, this fits nicely with the "new goals for high level players''. It will have us grinding notability like crazy of course (12 then 15 again, 12 then 15 again...) but since the elections are over...

It does sound as the best description for "paramount". A know it all! Probably not 215, but I'm sure if someone goes for it, it'll be to 215!
Probably dov is working on it considering he has max 33 BDR. Shitloads of MW, but...

Deactivated people aren't valid targets. The official response is that they periodically clean it up and the wait is generally not a problem. Until this update, of course.

I'm noticing as per that wiki link that you can't change your specialization if you're a Paramount Presence. Ofc that could just mean there won't be a paramount presence, but also could have implications on its eventual usage

I have a sneaking suspicion that a character that simultaneously has 215 in ALL stats and all four of the relevant new qualities will be able to meet the Ambitious Barrister at a stat-neutral location (either Lodgings or Bazaar Side-Streets, I imagine) and become a Paramount Presence.
Ideally, being a Paramount Presence would allow you to do everything any lesser specialization can (so you could be a Patron for any stat, for instance).
