§ The result
Sense takes the total, Bryq takes more of the criteria.
Sense (Screening) edges Bryq (Assessment) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 58 to 57. Bryq leads more of the criteria than Sense — 4 to 3 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which Sense leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Sense. Sense takes the heaviest weighted swing, Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (Bryq 54, Sense 60), which is 43% of the weighted advantage Sense holds; the widest raw gap is a different criterion, Human Oversight Design, Bryq 54 to Sense 64.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.3 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 -1.2.

§ 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.
