§ The result
Gloat leads Alooba on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Gloat scores 47 and Alooba 38 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Gloat leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Alooba is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Gloat leads is Customer Documentation, Alooba 58 to Gloat 62. The advantage Gloat holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Alooba 22, Gloat 38, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 35% of the weighted points Gloat gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

0.3 weighted points to Gloat
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -8.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -8.3.

§ 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.
