# Inventory risks overview

> How Solya surfaces stock-out and dead-stock risk, and how to act on it.

Solya continuously surfaces the inventory that needs attention — items about to **run
out**, and items that are **not selling** and tying up capital — so you can act before it
costs you.

## The two kinds of risk

| Risk           | Question it answers                             | Based on                                 |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Stock-out**  | "What will I run out of soon?"                  | Days of supply = stock ÷ sales velocity. |
| **Dead stock** | "What isn't selling and is locking up capital?" | Days since the last sale.                |

## Where you see it

* **Dashboards** — add the **Stock-out risk** and **Dead stock** table blocks to any
  [dashboard](/en/analytics/dashboards).
* **Signals** — turn risk into proactive [alerts](/en/signals/alerts) (see *Risk &
  signals* below).

## Acting on risk

From a risk view you turn a finding into a plan:

* **Stock-out** → a [restock plan](/en/inventory-plans/restock) (order more) or a
  [rebalance plan](/en/inventory-plans/rebalance) (move stock from a shop that has it).
* **Dead stock** → a [markdown plan](/en/inventory-plans/markdown) (discount to clear) or
  a rebalance to a location where it sells.

## Risk & signals

Risk also powers automation:

* **`RISK_SCORE`** is an [alert metric](/en/signals/alerts) — you can alert when a risk
  score crosses a threshold, over a perimeter.
* Solya's decision layer computes per-variant **risk scores** (stock-out risk, overstock
  risk, and the matching restock/transfer urgency) that feed
  [recommendations](/en/intelligence-layer/recommendations) and the score-driven
  [workflow](/en/automation/workflows) strategies.

<Note>
  Risk is computed over your analytics data (the gold layer fed by
  [ingestion](/en/data-layer/overview)). The stock-out and dead-stock thresholds below are
  fixed, sensible defaults.
