The Profit Leak Agent is your home screen. Instead of a dashboard you have to interpret, it runs detection rules against your store and surfaces the specific issues costing you the most money, ranked biggest first. Open the report, fix a few things, move on.
The headline numbers
At the top you see two figures for the selected date range:
Recoverable amount identified. Money you can realistically get back by acting on the leaks below. This is the conservative, defensible number.
Directional exposure. A larger figure covering issues that point at a problem but are harder to pin to an exact dollar recovery, such as cash locked in slow inventory. It is shown separately so the recoverable number stays honest.
From here you can Export PDF, Share the report, or set up a Weekly Email so the report comes to you.
Reading a leak card
Each leak is a card. A card shows:
A category tag such as COSTS or SHOPIFY, telling you where the leak lives.
A confidence level, HIGH or MEDIUM, so you know how firm the estimate is.
The estimated recovery for that specific leak.
A one-line plain-English explanation, plus supporting figures (for example, "6 orders, $93 avg gap, $558 total leak").
A Take Action button that opens the full detail.
Cards stay quiet until you click. Nothing expands on hover.
The detail drawer
Take Action opens a drawer with the evidence behind the leak. For an inventory leak, for example, the drawer lists the exact SKUs sitting still, with units on hand, units sold in the lookback window, and value at risk, plus a link to review that inventory. Every figure traces back to real orders or real stock. No black boxes.
Examples of what it finds
Shipping underpriced on specific orders, with the average gap and total leak.
SKUs selling at negative or dangerously low margin after all-in costs.
Inventory that has not moved meaningfully in the lookback window, with the cash it represents.
Common questions
Why is directional exposure so much larger than the recoverable amount? Because it includes issues where the full dollar impact is not yet certain. Shopshot keeps the two apart so the recoverable number never overstates what you can actually get back.
Can I trust the recovery figure on a card? Yes. Open the drawer and every number traces to specific orders, SKUs, or stock.
