drop-offs

Sudden downward slopes

Drop-offs are places where something decreases sharply—a cliff edge, the point where shallow water suddenly becomes deep, or where road pavement ends.

The term also refers to designated locations for leaving things: a recycling drop-off, a drop-off for library books.

In business contexts, drop-offs measure abandonment: The site had a 40% drop-off at checkout.

A drop-off in attendance or sales is a decline.
