§ The result
Workstream takes the total, Alooba takes more of the criteria.
Workstream (Screening) edges Alooba (Assessment) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 39 to 38. Alooba leads more of the criteria than Workstream — 4 to 2 — but Human Oversight Design, which Workstream leads, carries 12% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Workstream. One criterion, Human Oversight Design, is both the widest raw gap (Alooba 55, Workstream 61) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 12% weight it makes up 71% of the weighted advantage Workstream holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -0.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 1.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -0.2.

§ 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.
