RippleMatch holds a 4-point edge over Coderbyte under rubric v1.0, 46 to 42, across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Coderbyte leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for RippleMatch, yet RippleMatch takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Coderbyte 20, RippleMatch 53 — and at an 18% weight it carries 91% of the weighted advantage RippleMatch holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -4.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -4.0.

§ 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.
