No. SleekRank only generates the metric landing page. The chart widget on the base page handles fetching the time series, whether from a local CSV, a CDN-hosted JSON file, a database API, or a charting service like FRED or DataWrapper. SleekRank passes the metric_slug or series_id to the widget through query string or data attribute so the embed knows which series to load.

Yes. Pass the series_id and chart_color columns onto the iframe src or anchor parameters through a selector mapping. Each /statistics/{metric}/ loads the chart with that metric's series and brand-aligned styling already configured. Visitors see the right chart on arrival without any interaction or post-load reconfiguration on the client side.

On the agency's publishing cadence. BLS publishes the monthly employment situation on the first Friday; Census ACS publishes annually in September; BEA publishes GDP estimates quarterly with revisions. Tag each row with a frequency column and run scheduled cache flushes that match. The base page can include a last_updated stamp that pulls from the row's most-recent refresh time.

Each metric row carries distinct definition copy, source citation, methodology link, related-metric pointers, and metric-specific FAQ entries. Two BLS series like unemployment rate and labor force participation share the same agency but have different definitions, interpretations, and audience. Avoid copying generic intros across the catalog.

Yes. Add an alternatives column that stores a list of related-measure rows for that metric. List mapping renders them as a comparison strip beneath the chart. /statistics/unemployment-rate/ can surface U-3, U-6, and labor force participation side by side; /statistics/cpi-inflation/ can show headline, core, and shelter-component CPI in the same view.

Add a country column and let the urlPattern carry it: /statistics/{country}/{metric}/. Sources can be Eurostat, OECD, ONS, World Bank, IMF, or any other agency the chart widget knows how to fetch. The row carries the series_id, source agency, and citation; the chart engine handles the fetch. The shared template keeps the library coherent across geographies.

Yes. Add a seasonal_adjustment column flagged sa or nsa and let the chart engine surface a toggle between adjusted and unadjusted views. The metric page intro flags which view loads by default and explains why an analyst might switch. /statistics/unemployment-rate/ defaults to seasonally adjusted; /statistics/labor-force-participation/ does the same with the same toggle pattern.

Hide or remove the row, flush the SleekRank cache, and the /statistics/{metric}/ stops resolving. Set up a 301 to the replacement metric if the agency renamed or reclassified the series, so link equity flows to the successor. A status column flagged active, replaced, or archived makes the audit straightforward once the catalog grows beyond a few thousand metrics.
