§ The result
Fountain leads Aon Assessment on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Fountain scores 44 and Aon Assessment 35 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. Fountain leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Aon Assessment is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Fountain leads is Customer Documentation, Aon Assessment 48 to Fountain 52. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Aon Assessment 38, Fountain 55, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage Fountain holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -9.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.0.

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.
