§ The result
Alva Labs leads Draup on all 7 criteria.
Alva Labs finishes 19 points clear of Draup under rubric v1.0 — 61 (D) against 42 (F) — across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. Alva Labs leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; Draup leads none. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Alva Labs 78, Draup 48, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Alva Labs 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 +18.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +19 beside that +18.9.

§ 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.
