§ The result
3 points separate Willo and Alooba.
Willo (Video interview) edges Alooba (Assessment) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 41 to 38. Alooba and Willo each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split Willo holds (headed by Bias Audit Transparency) adds up to more weighted points. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Alooba 22, Willo 30) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 41% of the weighted advantage Willo holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -2.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -2.3.

§ 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.
