§ The result
ADP leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
ADP, filed under ATS-integrated, comes out 12 points above micro1, filed under Screening: 48 against 36 under rubric v1.0. ADP takes all 7 criteria and micro1 none of them; the nearest contest is Article 11 Technical Documentation, ADP 53 to micro1 50. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (ADP 46, micro1 20, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage ADP 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 +12.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +12 beside that +12.3.

§ 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.
