§ The result
Versant by Pearson leads Moonhub on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Versant by Pearson (Assessment) opens a 19-point lead on Moonhub (Sourcing), 49 to 30. Moonhub leads none of the 7 criteria, and Versant by Pearson is ahead on 4 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Moonhub 30, Versant by Pearson 63, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Versant by Pearson holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -18.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -19 beside that -18.9.
