High Sec has different rules than Lower Sec.  One of them is how to do PI.

In Lower Sec Space one extracts P0 from the Planet (Aqueous Liquids) and sends it through Factories to produce P1 (Water).  Possible production of P2 o rP3 can also take place.  This is considered passive, and involves minimal time to manage.  Minimal time is minimal ISK.  In High Sec planets are less productive at P0, and the math implies to make P3 or P4.

P4 is a great deal more time, and riskier.  There is Price Risk, that is the risk from buying from the market and selling in the market.  There is Tax Risk, that is the prices one pays to import and export through the Customs Office.  There is Combat Risk, that is pirates / players / Trigs potentially disrupting your haulers flight path.  Increased risk is increased profits, and there is a reward worthy of the committed.

If you choose to try to make P4, it would be wise to upgrade BPO's that utilize what you plan to make for the goal of producing out sized profits.  Standup, Station, Mobile, and Structure are the key words to search out for the potential to make those big profits.

EVE Industry - Blueprint Calculator (eve-industry.org) is an excellent BPO price estimator.  They should overestimates taxes, and assumes all materials are bought and sold at Jita.    EVE-Cost - Manufacturing Calculator may be better.    Often the price is lowest at Jita for raw materials compared to other Trade Hubs.  P1 is cheap, P4 is not.  Use BPO's to consume P4 to Produce Finished Goods, and sell it at other Trade Hubs for a great deal more.  P1 bought at Jita used to produce modules sold outside of Jita can generate large profits. Evepraisal - Price check is the selling price estimator I use to pick which Trade Hub gets which goods to sell.

The potential for a 24 hour period to import P1 and produce P4 is about 10 units of P4.  You can do the math to see if a BPO is too much time to produce the P4 for the potential profit.  Mobiles use the least amount of raw materials.  One can always sell the P4 at market, and it can be profitable enough to minimize the time sink at making Isk.
