§ The result
Coderbyte leads Emi on all 7 criteria.
Coderbyte scores 42 and Emi 33 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Coderbyte is ahead of Emi on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Bias Audit Transparency at Coderbyte 20 to Emi 18. The advantage Coderbyte holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Coderbyte 44, Emi 28, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 32% of the weighted points Coderbyte gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +9.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +9.9.

§ 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.
