§ The result
Beamery leads Pillar on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Beamery finishes 21 points clear of Pillar under rubric v1.0 — 61 (D) against 40 (F) — across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. Beamery leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Pillar is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Beamery leads is Human Oversight Design, Beamery 55 to Pillar 48. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Beamery 85, Pillar 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 40% of the weighted advantage Beamery holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +21.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 21.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +21 beside that +21.2.

§ 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.
