§ The result
Emmersion leads TestDome on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Emmersion scores 44 and TestDome 37 under rubric v1.0 — a 7-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. TestDome is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Emmersion takes 5, the remaining 2 are level, and the nearest of those 5 is Human Oversight Design, Emmersion 53 to TestDome 52. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Emmersion 57, TestDome 40 — and at a 20% weight it carries 48% of the weighted advantage Emmersion holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +7.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +7 beside that +7.1.

§ 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.
