§ The result
Alva Labs leads Test Partnership on all 7 criteria.
Alva Labs sits 11 points above Test Partnership under rubric v1.0, 61 (D) against 50 (F), with both filed under Assessment. Alva Labs takes all 7 criteria and Test Partnership none of them; the nearest contest is FRIA Support, Alva Labs 38 to Test Partnership 36. The advantage Alva Labs holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Alva Labs 78, Test Partnership 57, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 37% of the weighted points Alva Labs gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +11.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +11.3.

§ Evidence
