§ The result
2 points separate Test Partnership and ADP.
Test Partnership holds a 2-point edge over ADP under rubric v1.0, 50 to 48, across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. The 7 criteria split 5 to 1 in favour of Test Partnership, with 1 level: Test Partnership is ahead on FRIA Support and ADP on Post-Market Monitoring. Post-Market Monitoring is at once the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing, and it belongs to ADP — ADP 45, Test Partnership 33, on a 12% weight — which is 100% of the weighted advantage ADP holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -1.6.

§ 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.
