§ The result
ConverzAI takes the total, impress.ai takes more of the criteria.
ConverzAI finishes 6 points ahead of impress.ai under rubric v1.0, 44 to 38, both scored as Screening entries. impress.ai leads more of the criteria than ConverzAI — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which ConverzAI leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to ConverzAI.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +6.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.8.

§ 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.
