Alva Labs finishes 17 points clear of Vincere under rubric v1.0 — 61 (D) against 44 (F) — across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. Alva Labs leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Vincere is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Alva Labs leads is Human Oversight Design, Alva Labs 63 to Vincere 55. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Alva Labs 58, Vincere 18) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 43% of the weighted advantage Alva Labs holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

§ 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.
