§ The result
Ashby leads Cappfinity on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Ashby (ATS-integrated) opens a 16-point lead on Cappfinity (Assessment), 56 to 40. Of the 7 criteria Cappfinity wins none, and the narrowest lead Ashby holds is on Post-Market Monitoring, Ashby 42 to Cappfinity 38. The advantage Ashby holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Ashby 62, Cappfinity 28, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 37% of the weighted points Ashby gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +16.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +16.8.

§ 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.
