§ The result
Indeed leads Alooba on all 7 criteria.
Indeed sits 12 points above Alooba under rubric v1.0 — 50 against 38 — with Indeed filed under Sourcing and Alooba under Assessment. Indeed is ahead of Alooba on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Post-Market Monitoring at Alooba 36 to Indeed 40. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Alooba 40, Indeed 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage Indeed 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 -11.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.9 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 -11.9.

§ 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.
