Monarch records share counts in postmeta on each post, with separate meta keys per network such as _et_monarch_facebook_shares, _et_monarch_twitter_shares, and _et_monarch_total_shares. The admin panel surfaces these as inline numbers on the Monarch stats screen, but there is no per-network ranking, no top-posts list, and no historical trend across the site.

SleekView Charts reads wp_postmeta directly. Filter on the Monarch-prefixed meta keys, join to wp_posts by post_id for titles and publish dates, and the data is ready for any chart card. A Number KPI sums totals, a Donut breaks down the network mix, a Horizontal Bar ranks posts, and an Area chart trends shares against the post_date column.

Nothing about Monarch's recording or button rendering changes. The plugin keeps writing meta keys exactly as it does today, and the share buttons on the front end remain untouched. The chart dashboard sits on top as a reading layer, so editors and marketers can finally answer which posts and which networks drive shares without scrolling through a long list of inline numbers.

Monarch records share counts faithfully on every post, but the data sits as inline numbers next to long lists of posts inside the Monarch admin panel and never quite becomes a story the editorial team can act on. Inline numbers do not answer the questions that matter: which month's posts pulled the most shares, which network is over-indexed across the whole site, and which categories deserve more attention in the next campaign. SleekView Charts treats Monarch's _et_monarch_ meta keys as the dataset they already are.

A KPI for total shares, a donut for the network mix, a top-posts bar, and a publish-date trend all sit on one saved dashboard. Monarch keeps writing the meta, the buttons keep rendering, and nothing about the recording side changes; what changes is that the data finally turns into editorial decisions and reporting screens marketers can read at a glance.
