What the article says around this equation

A convenient way to see what axis B actually claims is to write the signal a given comparison reports as a blend: S(t)=w(t) B(t)+(1−w(t)) D(t)S(t) = w(t)\, B(t) + \bigl(1 - w(t)\bigr)\, D(t). where B(t) is a provider’s position on a composite benchmark or leaderboard index at time t , D(t) is its position on a deployment-outcome measure such as production task completion or retained enterprise share, and w(t) ∈\in [0,1] is the weight public comparison, procurement practice and press coverage place on the benchmark term. Axis B is precisely a claim about where w(t) is heading: toward one, where the scenario names below carry the word “Board,” or toward zero, where they carry the word “Ledger” instead. No source cited in this article reports w(t)…

No source cited in this article reports w(t) directly as a number, which is the honest reason this is an axis and not an already-settled fact.
