§ The result
Versant by Pearson leads Talogy on all 7 criteria.
Versant by Pearson scores 49 and Talogy 42 under rubric v1.0 — a 7-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. Versant by Pearson takes all 7 criteria from Talogy without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Data Governance Disclosure, Talogy 52 to Versant by Pearson 53. The advantage Versant by Pearson holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Talogy 30, Versant by Pearson 42, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 30% of the weighted points Versant by Pearson gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 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.
