§ The result
1 point separates ADP and Gloat.
ADP (ATS-integrated) edges Gloat (Sourcing) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 48 to 47. ADP and Gloat each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split ADP holds (headed by Bias Audit Transparency) adds up to more weighted points. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — ADP 46, Gloat 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 51% of the weighted advantage ADP holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +1.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +1.5.

§ 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.
