 To the right you see the the impacts of the factors grouped into 3 categories: your competitive position; market environment; and cost and capital structure. Green bars indicate a positive impact and red a negative impact on PAR ROS. Again, if you have entered more than 1 year of data you can view time series data or bar charts for each year.
-**Prescription** shows the potential trend for ROS based on the Strategic Peer analysis and a key indicator.
+**Prescription** shows the trend for strategic peers which improved PAR ROS (winners) vs those whose PAR ROS decreased (losers) extrapolated from your data in the chart to the left, and the potential changes for a key indicator to the right. In both charts the area between the green and red lines represents the likely range of outcomes for your business.

+==== Profit Potential Analysis ====
+THis section shows detailed results of the PAR ROS analysis.\\
+The **Summary Findings** section displays charts showing actual ROS against PAR ROS on the left and details of the results to the right.{{ :paid14.png?nolink&600 |}}
+If you have entered more than 1 year of data, you can view timeseries metrics and an actual vs PAR chart in this section.\\

+The **Profitability** Section contains two charts split into 5 segments (quintiles).\\
+The first shows the distribution of PAR ROS {{ :paid18.png?nolink&200|}}for businesses with similar capital intensity to yours, and is a measure of how your PAR ROS (shown as a horizontal line) compares. The charts is divided into 5 ranges (or quintiles) with the middle bar representing average values. In this case the range of PAR for this business is above average, i.e. it's potential is above average.
-Profit Potential
-Strategic Peer Analysis
+The second chart shows the quintiles of the {{ :paid19.png?nolink&200|}}expected distribution of Return on Sales for businesses like yours and your PAr and actual return on sales plotted on it, with your PAR central in the middle category. If you are in this category you are performing close to your expected PAR. Below this, you are underperforming your strategic position and should look at your cost profile for potential improvements. Above it, you are probably outperforming your strategic potential and need to address strategic improvements to maintain that performance.
+**Impacts on Profit Potential**
+This section shows the impacts of the variousequation terms on expected (PAR) profitability.
+The left side shows the impacts of the factors grouped into 3 categories: your competitive position; market environment; and cost and capital structure. If you have entered data for a single year the impacts are shown as a bar chart with categories having a negative impact shown in red and those having a positive impact on expected profitability in green: If you have entered data for more than 1 year, the barchart for each year can be displayed as well as a line chart showing the changes over time. To the right if the screen the detailed breakdown for each category is shown. If the category chart is the time series chart, the detail chart is also shown over time as below: If a single year is displayed for the category chart, then the detailed impacts for that year are shown to the right: In both cases the category to be displayed can be selected from the drop down menu above the chart. If the category chart is a bar chart you can click on the bar to display the details for that category.

+**Key Drivers of Profitability and Growth**
+{{ :parfree9.png?nolink&600 |}}
+The bottom section shows two charts. To the left are charts detailing the relationship between key factors and profitability and growth from the PIMS research database with your data plotted in the same way as in the input sections. The chart to the right shows the distribution of that data in the PIMS database as a Box and whiskers chart, the end points represent the maximum & minimum and the box the middle 50% of businesses for that variable.
