§ The result
Plum takes the total, Avionté takes more of the criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Plum, filed under Assessment, finishes on 54 and Avionté, filed under ATS-integrated, on 45, 9 points apart. Avionté leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for Plum, yet Plum takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Avionté 22, Plum 83 — and at an 18% weight it carries 87% of the weighted advantage Plum holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.4.

§ 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.
