§ The result
Ashby leads Loxo on all 7 criteria.
Ashby finishes 19 points clear of Loxo under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 37 — across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Ashby leads every one of the 7 criteria, Loxo none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Post-Market Monitoring, Ashby 42 to Loxo 40. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Ashby 62, Loxo 20, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 39% 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 +19.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 19.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +19 beside that +19.2.

§ 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.
