§ The result
Alva Labs leads Knockri on all 7 criteria.
Alva Labs, filed under Assessment, comes out 14 points above Knockri, filed under Video interview: 61 (D) against 47 (F) under rubric v1.0. Of the 7 criteria Knockri wins none, and the narrowest lead Alva Labs holds is on FRIA Support, Alva Labs 38 to Knockri 35. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Alva Labs 78, Knockri 55, 20% weight), is only 32% of the weighted advantage Alva Labs builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +14.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +14.6.

§ 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.
