| valign="middle" | All P4 commodities are required for the production of Citadels and Engineering Complexes; therefore, these are always in demand and are likely to bring a solid return. They do require the use of a P2-to-P4 or a P1+P2-to-P4 factory planet to manufacture, which again requires more effort than the average capsuleer is willing to put into PI. | | valign="middle" | All P4 commodities are required for the production of Citadels and Engineering Complexes; therefore, these are always in demand and are likely to bring a solid return.

To maximize PI profitability, comparisons should be made between the local and major trade hub markets to determine which goods are selling quickly, or which are selling with the highest profit margin. An item with high demand and lower supply is likely to meet both criteria. Players should account for time or effort for shipping goods to destination markets, which might involve contracting to a shipping service. | {| | ||

Players should account for time or effort for shipping goods to destination markets, which might involve contracting to a shipping service. The third-party site [https://www.adam4eve.eu/pi_rank.php Adam4EVE] is a useful tool to determine which PI commodities currently have the greatest profit margin. | |||

| valign="middle" | To maximize PI convenience, pilots within the NSC might avail of the [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=121141 NSC Buyback] program as the final 'destination' for goods produced, which can be the simplest way to offload large quantities of PI materials. At time of writing, this program only accepts P2 products or higher. | |||
