A276004 a(n) is the number of nonzero digits in the factorial-base representation of n that are matched by more significant digits from left; a(n) = A060502(n) - A060128(n).

Examples
For n=15 ("211" in factorial base) the least significant 1 at position 1 is matched by its immediate left neighbor 1 and also by 2 at position 3, as (2-1) = (3-2) = 1, the position where the least significant 1 itself is. However, this is counted just as one match, because this sequence gives the number of digits that are matched, instead of the number of digits that match, thus a(15)=1.
