After the potential analysis system was initiated in 2016 with the adoption of the elite sport reform and the first areas of action were identified, the PotAS Commission has continuously developed the system since its appointment at the beginning of 2017. Together with the commissioning bodies BMI and DOSB as well as the athletes and sports directors, PotAS has been continuously evaluated, streamlined and further optimised. An important milestone in objectifying the assessment of squad potential was recently the acquisition of the Gracenote database and the algorithm developed on the basis of this data to assess potential.
