§ The result
Fuel50 takes the total, Bryq takes more of the criteria.
Fuel50 (Sourcing) edges Bryq (Assessment) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 58 to 57. Bryq leads more of the criteria than Fuel50 — 4 to 3 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which Fuel50 leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Fuel50. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Bryq 54, Fuel50 70) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 74% of the weighted advantage Fuel50 holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -0.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.0 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 -0.7.

§ 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.
