§ The result
3 points separate TestGorilla and Retorio.
Within the Assessment cohort, TestGorilla edges Retorio by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 47 to 44. TestGorilla leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Human Oversight Design, while Retorio leads 1, including Bias Audit Transparency, and 1 is level. Human Oversight Design is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Retorio 52, TestGorilla 60, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage TestGorilla holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -2.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -2.8.

§ 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.
