§ The result
X0PA AI leads Canditech on all 7 criteria.
X0PA AI scores 48 and Canditech 39 under rubric v1.0 — a 9-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. X0PA AI is ahead of Canditech on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Customer Documentation at Canditech 58 to X0PA AI 60. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Canditech 25, X0PA AI 44, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage X0PA AI 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 -9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.4.

§ 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.
