What is the difference between focusing a die and requesting assistance?
The rulebook describes both actions and the helper's cost on failure.

Focusing sets aside one of your own dice after your failed roll. Requesting assistance has another investigator on the same card set aside a die for you, and that helper pays the cost if the adventure fails. You may use either after a failed roll, but not both on the same roll.
