§ The result
Beamery leads Wellfound on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Beamery scores 61 (D) and Wellfound 52 (F) under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. Beamery leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Wellfound is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Beamery leads is FRIA Support, Beamery 30 to Wellfound 28. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Beamery 70, Wellfound 40 — and at a 20% weight it carries 62% 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 +9.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.6 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 +9.6.

§ 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.
