Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureInventory numbers go wrong quietly. A sync fails, an import loads the wrong sheet, a fulfilment double-counts, and the first sign is that a product stopped selling. Driftwatch downloads your full catalog from Shopify every night and compares it against what it recorded yesterday. It reports what changed, what went negative, and what moved in bulk, then stays silent until something else drifts.
