Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -26.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 26.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -26 beside that -26.3.
