§ The result
Crosschq leads Canditech on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Crosschq scores 47 and Canditech 39 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. Crosschq leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Canditech is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Crosschq leads is Customer Documentation, Canditech 58 to Crosschq 62. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Canditech 37, Crosschq 50, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Crosschq 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 -8.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -8.2.

§ 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.
