Under rubric v1.0, Vervoe and Emmersion finish 2 points apart, 46 to 44, as two Assessment entries. Emmersion leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for Vervoe, yet Vervoe 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 — Emmersion 28, Vervoe 52 — and at an 18% weight it carries 73% of the weighted advantage Vervoe holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -1.4.

§ 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.
