§ The result
Cangrade takes the total, Vincere takes more of the criteria.
Cangrade (Assessment) edges Vincere (ATS-integrated) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 45 to 44. Vincere leads more of the criteria than Cangrade — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Cangrade leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Cangrade. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Cangrade 35, Vincere 18) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 92% of the weighted advantage Cangrade holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +0.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +0.4.

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.
