§ The result
Adaface leads Emi on all 7 criteria.
Adaface scores 39 and Emi 33 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Adaface is ahead of Emi on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Post-Market Monitoring at Adaface 38 to Emi 35. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Adaface 38, Emi 28, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 31% of the weighted advantage Adaface holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +6.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.5.

§ Evidence
Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
An absence is a finding, not a blank: the reviewer looked for a named artefact and recorded that it is not located. Where a source sits is a fact about hosting only.
