How many carts are just below my free shipping threshold?

As an e-commerce merchant, I'm struggling to understand how many of my customers are abandoning their carts just shy of qualifying for free shipping. I want to identify the precise number of carts that are close to, but not reaching, my free shipping threshold. This information could help me design targeted strategies to increase average order value and reduce cart abandonment rates. What methods can I use to analyze these near-miss cart values and turn them into successful conversions?
