§ The result
SEEK leads Adaface on all 7 criteria.
SEEK finishes 15 points clear of Adaface under rubric v1.0 — 54 against 39 — across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. SEEK leads every one of the 7 criteria, Adaface none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Adaface 30 to SEEK 32. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Adaface 38, SEEK 70) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 44% of the weighted advantage SEEK holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -14.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -15 beside that -14.5.

§ 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.
