Why, term by termKyberSwap leads on 0 of 2 published criteria; OpenOcean on 0. The terms sum to the gap.
TermKyberSwapOpenOceanWeightPoints
No published term separates the two — every criterion cell and every score dimension is equal.
Net of the terms0.0
Reproduced gap0.0
Weight is in points of the 86-point weighted total. Points are score points of the gap between the two.
This ranking scores its published criteria from the record as a whole, not criterion by criterion, so they count here as one term and no single criterion is credited.
A row-above bound on one row means the criterion arithmetic does not reproduce the displayed gap exactly.

Score dimensions
weights sum to 86
The published score is five dimensions, each weighted for the category. "Published criteria" is the criteria block above; the other four are the engine's own terms — availability, friction, trust record, measured data. Each bar is one side's points out of that dimension's maximum; the weight beside the name is its points of the 86-point weighted total. The published criteria above can fill 24 of the block’s 30. A weight marked “constant here” belongs to a dimension every ranked product in the category holds at the same value: it still counts in the total, and it orders nothing here.
