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

Bulgaria take 8.73 shots per game and put 3.87 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.

Where do these SOT stats come from?

How is conversion (Goals/SOT) useful?
