§ The result
iMocha leads Cangrade on all 7 criteria.
iMocha sits 11 points above Cangrade under rubric v1.0, 56 against 45, with both filed under Assessment. iMocha is ahead of Cangrade on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Customer Documentation at Cangrade 62 to iMocha 66. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Cangrade 52, iMocha 68, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 29% of the weighted advantage iMocha 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 -11.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.0 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 -11.0.
