§ The result
ADP leads Loxo by 11 points.
ADP sits 11 points above Loxo under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 37 — with ADP filed under ATS-integrated and Loxo under Sourcing. ADP leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while Loxo leads 1, including FRIA Support, and 1 is level. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — ADP 46, Loxo 20 — and at an 18% weight it carries 41% of the weighted advantage ADP holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +11.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +11.2.

§ 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.
