§ The result
Avature leads Moonhub on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Avature (ATS-integrated) opens an 18-point lead on Moonhub (Sourcing), 48 to 30. Moonhub leads none of the 7 criteria, and Avature is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Avature 55, Moonhub 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage Avature holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

1.1 weighted points to Avature
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +18.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +18 beside that +18.1.

§ 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.
