§ The result
Alva Labs leads Cappfinity on all 7 criteria.
The Assessment cohort pairing of Alva Labs and Cappfinity comes out 61 (D) to 40 (F) under rubric v1.0, a 21-point lead for Alva Labs. Alva Labs takes all 7 criteria and Cappfinity none of them; the nearest contest is FRIA Support, Alva Labs 38 to Cappfinity 28. The advantage Alva Labs holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Alva Labs 78, Cappfinity 36, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Alva Labs gains across the 7 criteria it leads.
