§ The result
4 points separate Canditech and Ceipal.
Canditech (Assessment) edges Ceipal (ATS-integrated) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 39 to 35. Canditech leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Ceipal leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Canditech 37, Ceipal 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 27% of the weighted advantage Canditech holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 5.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +4.5.
