§ The result
4 points separate Cegid and Manatal.
Under rubric v1.0, Cegid and Manatal finish 4 points apart, 45 to 41, as two ATS-integrated entries. The criteria split evenly, 3 each to Cegid and Manatal, with 1 level, and the weighted points on the side Cegid holds, headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation, settle the total. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Cegid 50, Manatal 33 — and at a 20% weight it carries 64% of the weighted advantage Cegid holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +4.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +4.2.

§ 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.
