669 products with zero product_type datacritical

All 669 products in the catalog have empty product_type fields, preventing proper filtering, search relevance ranking, and inventory categorization. This flat taxonomy makes it impossible for shoppers to narrow down by bike type (full-suspension vs. hardtail, XC vs. downhill, etc.) or for the search algorithm to understand product relationships.

Missing product taxonomy directly degrades search UX, reduces add-to-cart conversion on high-AOV items ($6k–$14k bikes), and kills cross-sell/bundle recommendations that could increase order value in a premium product category.

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