I used "benefits" instead of profit because the goal of an organization does not have to be monetary. e.g. NPO. To calculate potential benefits, it's necessary to define some metrics to determine the current situation with that at the desired situation. Many companies use monetary metrics, but a NPO might use how many people/animal they assisted/saved. If you have a better term, let us know. H.Ozawa
