Directly from wp_posts, wp_postmeta (including _genesis_layout, _wp_page_template and the Simple Sidebars _ss_sidebar key) and wp_options (the stylesheet child theme value plus the genesis-simple-hooks-settings option when present). No exports, no shadow copies, every aggregation is a live query.

Yes. Group a Pie or Donut card by _genesis_layout to see how content-sidebar, sidebar-content, full-width-content and the legacy three-column variants are distributed. Add a filter on post type to scope the chart to posts, pages or a custom post type the child theme registers.

The active child theme lives in the stylesheet option (and template for the parent). SleekView reads both as filters, so a chart view can be scoped to one environment's child theme and confirmed against another after migration without rewriting any card.

Yes, when Genesis Simple Hooks is installed. The plugin stores hook output in the genesis-simple-hooks-settings option as a serialised array keyed by hook position. SleekView normalises it into rows so a Bar card can rank hook positions by whether they carry any output and by how recently they were edited.

Queries hit indexed columns on wp_posts (post_type, post_status, post_modified) and the indexed meta_key column on postmeta for Genesis-specific keys. Group-by columns can be backed by a lightweight cache so dashboards render fast even on sites with thousands of posts bound to Genesis meta.

Yes. Group an Area or Line card by post_modified truncated to week, aggregated by Count, scoped to posts with a non-empty _genesis_layout or _wp_page_template. The curve shows when the Genesis footprint is being touched, useful for tracking redesign cadence, freeze windows and quiet stretches.

Charts are read-only summaries by design. To act on a chart insight, switch to the audit table filtered to the same slice (for example, the legacy three-column segment of a layout pie). Inline edits in the table route through the standard WordPress update path, so Genesis behaviour matches exactly what an editor would see after saving the metabox.

Genesis does not ship a dedicated reporting screen for layouts, hooks or sidebar coverage, so there is nothing to replace. SleekView Charts adds a reporting surface on top of the metadata Genesis and its companion plugins already write, so the framework keeps owning the front end and the chart view owns the summarisation.
