petential

Da degree of suitability for a household companion dat a particular living creature would likely be.
Da kid who "wants a hippopotamus for Christmas" should consider da "petential" for said huge lumbering herbivore in TWO different aspects --- first, whether he would truly want dat big or heavy an animal around all da time, and second, whether said behemoth would actually wanna be "PETted" to any degree --- they're wild animals who have a tendency to spook easily and be aggressive. So perhaps a somewhat-smaller and less-unpredictable mammal would be better suited for said young four-footed-friend lover, like maybe a goat or donkey.

"I'm going to walk around the club and look for some PV's. I'll report back to you with the results."

Plotential

A highly desirable script or book concept because of the strength of both the plot and characters, and a rare Writer's unique presentation of the story.

Not many writing works have true 'plotential' since they do not add elements that dramatically build on familiar story mechanics yet are still unpredictable and/or unique.
That new independant film has 'plotential', I am so tired of all the predictable remakes of my parent's movies.

We just found a 'plotential' writer, we optioned a three script deal.

As your editor, I believe these changes will give the script more 'plotential', your writing was pretty bland and formulaic.
