Usage of the word "potential"
hello everyone,
the usage of the word "potential" confuses me, beacuse it could be an adjective and it could be a noun.
so for example is it correct to say :
" Studying the potential of reducing the production costs, in terms of reducing / controlling the processes’ variation. " ?
here I intend to use the noun of "potential"
Thank you in advance :)

Ex: There is a potential to double my investment if I play the stock market.
