In an answer that names both, the rival placed above you. A loss the report counts alongside absences.
In the report
A loss counted alongside absence: the answer named you, but named a rival first. The report's gap table marks these 'ahead' and the sharpest-threat line is built from them.
How to move it
Order in an answer follows the order in the sources. Being first in the roundup the engine reads most, or having the comparison page the engine quotes, moves you up.
