§ The result
Retorio takes the total, CoderPad takes more of the criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Retorio and CoderPad finish 2 points apart, 44 to 42, as two Assessment entries. CoderPad leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for Retorio, yet Retorio 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 — CoderPad 20, Retorio 40 — and at an 18% weight it carries 73% of the weighted advantage Retorio 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 -2.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -2.0.

§ 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.
