§ The result
Sense leads Arena Analytics on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 separates Sense and Arena Analytics, both Screening entries, by 26 points: 58 for Sense, 32 for Arena Analytics. Arena Analytics leads none of the 7 criteria, and Sense is ahead on 5 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them. The advantage Sense holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Arena Analytics 25, Sense 72, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 32% of the weighted points Sense gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -26.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 26.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -26 beside that -26.7.

§ 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.
