§ The result
RippleMatch takes the total, Avionté takes more of the criteria.
RippleMatch (Sourcing) edges Avionté (ATS-integrated) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 46 to 45. Avionté leads more of the criteria than RippleMatch — 6 to 1 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which RippleMatch leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to RippleMatch. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Avionté 22, RippleMatch 53) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 100% of the weighted advantage RippleMatch holds across the 1 criterion it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -1.4.

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.
