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

Malawi take 3.8 shots per game and put 1.4 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?
