§ The result
SEEK leads Emmersion on all 7 criteria.
SEEK sits 10 points above Emmersion under rubric v1.0 — 54 against 44 — with SEEK filed under Screening and Emmersion under Assessment. SEEK is ahead of Emmersion on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being FRIA Support at Emmersion 30 to SEEK 32. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Emmersion 57, SEEK 70, 20% weight), is only 28% of the weighted advantage SEEK builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -9.4.

§ 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.
