§ The result
Ashby leads Equalture on all 7 criteria.
Ashby sits 12 points above Equalture under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 44 — with Ashby filed under ATS-integrated and Equalture under Assessment. Ashby leads every one of the 7 criteria, Equalture none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Data Governance Disclosure, Ashby 58 to Equalture 55. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Ashby 62, Equalture 40, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 33% of the weighted advantage Ashby 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 +12.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +12 beside that +12.0.

§ 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.
