Covey holds a 3-point edge over Prevue HR under rubric v1.0, 47 to 44, across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Prevue HR leads more of the criteria, 4 against 2 for Covey, yet Covey 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 — Covey 72, Prevue HR 44 — and at an 18% weight it carries 89% of the weighted advantage Covey holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +2.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +2.9.

§ 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.
