§ The result
Indeed leads Emmersion on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Indeed, filed under Sourcing, finishes on 50 and Emmersion, filed under Assessment, on 44, 6 points apart. Indeed takes all 7 criteria from Emmersion without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Article 11 Technical Documentation, Emmersion 57 to Indeed 58. The advantage Indeed holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Emmersion 28, Indeed 38, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 29% of the weighted points Indeed gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -6.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.2 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 -6.2.

§ 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.
