Notability and Paramount Presence

Hello,
i'm looking to rise above other lowly londoners by achieving Paramount Presence status so just want to check if i understand well the path that needs to be taken.
Can you please confirm this is correct or something is missing:
1. raise X attribute to 200 and Notability to 5
2. use Unfinished business action for that attribute (lose 5 notability) - gain attribute-specific POSI title
3. raise notability to 15
4. use Unsigned message card to convert Notability to attribute value of 215
5. use Unfinished business action with Barister to access London's Blood, Marrow, Sinew or Nerves
6. Complete only 1 of 3 available options
7. Raise Notability to 12
8. Use Attend to Matters of Society to change POSI title by losing 12 Notability
9. Go to 1, repeat 3 times
10. PROFIT!
Am I understanding correctly that 32 Notability will be used for for every attribute?
Is attribute value 215 lost after reseting POSI title in step 7?
Thanks.

You keep any stat bonuses you've gotten even when you lose the specialisation. Otherwise, you're correct. You can pay fate to clear your specialisation also but it's not worth it; you need to "pay" 5 notability to respecialise and the earlier notability points are much easier to reobtain than the later ones, so it's a false economy.
I also recommend you get to 6 Notability before you respecialise, purely so you're not waiting for Slowcake's card afterwards (You need 1 notability to summon him from your lodgings).

With hight BDR you can summon card, spend all Notability and buy one Notability without need MW.
You still need MW, though. If you have Notability 5 to respecialize, summoning the Amanuensis requires having enough MW to hit Notability 6. Whether you get the level before or after specializing makes zero difference.

I have 8 Bizarre, 7 Respectable and 7 Dreaded, so first point of Notability is priceless. I can summon card to hand, spend all notability and use card to buy first Notability point.
You need Notability 5 to respecialize. You can only summon the card if you have enough MW to get the next level, so with your 22 BDR, you'd need MW 18 after that. Whether you buy Notability 6 immediately and then spend five levels, or you spend the five levels and then buy Notability 1, you need the same MW and spend the same number of actions. There's no difference.
