§ The result
iMocha leads Canditech on all 7 criteria.
iMocha finishes 17 points clear of Canditech inside the Assessment cohort under rubric v1.0: 56 against 39. iMocha leads every one of the 7 criteria, Canditech none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Canditech 30 to iMocha 38. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Canditech 37, iMocha 68, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage iMocha 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 -16.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -17 beside that -16.8.

§ 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.
