§ The result
Beamery leads SeekOut on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 separates Beamery and SeekOut, both Sourcing entries, by 27 points: 61 (D) for Beamery, 34 (F) for SeekOut. Beamery leads every one of the 7 criteria and 5 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; SeekOut leads none. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Beamery 85, SeekOut 40, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage Beamery holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +27.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 27.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +27 beside that +27.0.

§ 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.
