§ The result
Bryq leads Fetcher on all 7 criteria.
Bryq finishes 20 points clear of Fetcher under rubric v1.0 — 57 against 37 — across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. Bryq leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; Fetcher leads none. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Bryq 70, Fetcher 28, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Bryq 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 +19.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 19.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +20 beside that +19.8.

§ 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.
