§ The result
Sova Assessment leads Aon Assessment on all 7 criteria.
Sova Assessment sits 13 points above Aon Assessment under rubric v1.0, 48 against 35, with both filed under Assessment. Sova Assessment is ahead of Aon Assessment on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Bias Audit Transparency at Aon Assessment 30 to Sova Assessment 38. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Aon Assessment 40, Sova Assessment 55, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 23% of the weighted advantage Sova Assessment holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -12.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -12.9.

§ 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.
