Hmm, I want to stream it from TAN in order to bolster its ratings to help persuade Sentai to release it dubbed, but at the same time, I'd rather watch it from Crunchyroll, where I already have an account.

I could just wait and buy it on DVD, to influence a dubbed re-release, but also watching the stream is akin to getting an extra "vote" for a dub.

Do we know if the Crunchyroll numbers for streaming influence Sentai?

I would guess that Crunchyroll would provide its numbers to Sentai, since they have the license. What I don't understand is why their streaming schedule is so far behind. Crunchy is already streaming the 5th episode for premium members.

Been watching Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth at TAN, and really enjoying it. They have four episode up right now for registered users. Enjoying it very much.

No, there is no relationship between the stream on CR and the stream on TAN. Sentai generally only has access to the numbers on Anime Network's site. The CR stream is a separate contract that they don't have any access to.

The dubbing of Demon King Daimao was determined solely by the streaming numbers on Anime Network.

I imagine the are running 5 weeks behind because CR likely has an exclusive window to stream the episodes, since they obviously don't have an exclusive license all around.
