Under rubric v1.0, Covey (Sourcing) opens a 15-point lead on Arena Analytics (Screening), 47 to 32. Arena Analytics is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Covey takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Post-Market Monitoring, Arena Analytics 28 to Covey 30. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Arena Analytics 25, Covey 72 — and at an 18% weight it carries 55% of the weighted advantage Covey holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -15.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -15 beside that -15.5.

§ 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.
