Hello Patrick,
Apologies for unusually long silence even though I was the one who initiated this.

Should I assume both are options are applicable/available?
If, as also mentioned below, there is access control related to data for respective vendor, I think the second option (absolute values with 'actual', 'expected') is easier and cleaner to implement. If, we have to come to a choice of selecting one of the methods above.

I agree and understand this risk, for NXP's perspective at least.
Thanks for highlighting this as well as for providing a way out of this 'delta' problem.
