§ The result
4 points separate Coderbyte and Alooba.
Within the Assessment cohort, Coderbyte edges Alooba by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 42 to 38. Alooba takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Bias Audit Transparency among them, against 5 for Coderbyte, whose share includes Data Governance Disclosure, and 1 is level.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -3.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -3.9.

§ Evidence
Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
An absence is a finding, not a blank: the reviewer looked for a named artefact and recorded that it is not located. Where a source sits is a fact about hosting only.
