§ The result
Criteria leads Cegid by 8 points.
Criteria scores 53 and Cegid 45 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. The 7 criteria split 5 to 1 in favour of Criteria, with 1 level: Criteria is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and Cegid on Customer Documentation. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Cegid 50, Criteria 68) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 44% of the weighted advantage Criteria holds across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -8.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.4 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 -8.1.

§ 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.
