§ The result
DevSkiller leads Pulsifi on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Inside the Assessment cohort, rubric v1.0 puts DevSkiller on 39 and Pulsifi on 33, 6 points apart. DevSkiller leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Pulsifi is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 DevSkiller leads is Bias Audit Transparency, DevSkiller 22 to Pulsifi 20. Even Data Governance Disclosure, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (DevSkiller 52, Pulsifi 40, 15% weight), is only 32% of the weighted advantage DevSkiller builds across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +5.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.6 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 +5.6.
