## An out-of-stock item isn't a lost order — it's an uncaptured one

That's the distinction that decides your year. The customer wanted to buy. They were on the page, with the intent. **What you lost isn't the desire — it's the means of holding on to it.**

## And overstock isn't a space problem

It's _dead money in a box_. Every pallet standing still is cash you don't have for the things that actually move. The warehouse forgives neither — but only one of the two is visible.

## WooCommerce knows what you have left. Not what you'll need

The stock counter is a past tense. It tells you nothing about seasonality, lead time or trend — and those three decide whether you're out of stock in six weeks.
