An essential quantity required to understand the physics of the early Universe is the primordial scalar potential and its statistics. We present an inexpensive all-sky reconstruction of the potential from CMB temperature data as well as an extension including polarization data. Once explicitly having the potential, its statistics and underlying physics can be directly obtained avoiding expensive CMB analyses.
