Massive catalog (1250+ products) lacks clear navigation hierarchyhigh

Store carries 11,000+ beauty products across skincare, makeup, fragrance, and haircare, but collections structure shows fragmented taxonomy (250 collections with many single-digit product counts like '4711 Floral Collection' with only 2 products). Homepage meta describes broad categories but no evidence of intelligent filtering, sorting, or guided browsing to help shoppers navigate the scale.

Overwhelming product volume without clear discovery pathways causes cart abandonment and reduces average order value; shoppers leave because they cannot efficiently find or compare what they need.

🔒 The fix — plus a prioritized 30-day plan — is in the full audit.
