§ The result
PageUp leads ADP on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, PageUp opens a 16-point lead on ADP, 64 (D) to 48 (F), with both scored in the ATS-integrated cohort. PageUp leads every one of the 7 criteria, ADP none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Customer Documentation, ADP 58 to PageUp 63. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (ADP 46, PageUp 80, 18% weight), is only 39% of the weighted advantage PageUp builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -15.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -16 beside that -15.7.

§ 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.
