§ The result
ADP leads Alooba on 4 of the 7 criteria.
ADP sits 10 points above Alooba under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 38 — with ADP filed under ATS-integrated and Alooba under Assessment. ADP leads 4 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 3 are level, so Alooba is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 4 ADP leads is Post-Market Monitoring, ADP 45 to Alooba 36. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (ADP 46, Alooba 22) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 44% of the weighted advantage ADP holds across the 4 criteria it leads.

1.1 weighted points to ADP
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to +9.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +10 beside that +9.8.

§ 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.
