Each row is a rating bucket; its weight is that bucket's strong-weighted share of the vote (strong calls count double, holds count zero), so the weights sum to 0.96 — the total conviction on the tape, not a forced 100%. Multiply each bucket's direction by its weight, add the rows, and you get the net lean exactly — Σ(direction × weight) = +0.77.
