§ The result
Bryq leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
Bryq finishes 21 points clear of micro1 under rubric v1.0 — 57 against 36 — across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Bryq leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; micro1 leads none. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Bryq 70, micro1 20) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 43% of the weighted advantage Bryq holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +21.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 21.1 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 +21.1.

§ 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.
