§ The result
TestGorilla leads Alooba on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Inside the Assessment cohort, rubric v1.0 puts TestGorilla on 47 and Alooba on 38, 9 points apart. Alooba is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: TestGorilla takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is FRIA Support, Alooba 28 to TestGorilla 30. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Alooba 22, TestGorilla 38, 18% weight), is only 36% of the weighted advantage TestGorilla builds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -8.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.1 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 -8.1.

§ 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.
