Inside the ATS-integrated cohort, rubric v1.0 puts Tribepad on 56 and Avature on 48, 8 points apart. Avature leads more of the criteria than Tribepad — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Tribepad leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Tribepad. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Avature 40, Tribepad 78) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 78% of the weighted advantage Tribepad holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -7.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -7.7.

§ 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.
