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.
