What's the difference between shots and shots on target?

Turkey take 17.5 shots per game and put 4.7 on target. Players who shoot speculatively often have a low SOT-per-shot ratio; the context panel surfaces the shots/g funnel so you can see the conversion rate.

How is conversion (Goals/SOT) useful?
