§ The result
Covey takes the total, Coderbyte takes more of the criteria.
Covey scores 47 and Coderbyte 42 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Coderbyte leads more of the criteria than Covey — 5 to 1 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Covey leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Covey. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Coderbyte 20, Covey 72) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 100% of the weighted advantage Covey holds across the 1 criterion it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -4.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -5 beside that -4.6.

§ 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.
