§ The result
Classet leads Ceipal on all 7 criteria.
Classet finishes 20 points clear of Ceipal under rubric v1.0 — 55 against 35 — across the Screening and ATS-integrated cohorts. Of the 7 criteria Ceipal wins none, and the narrowest lead Classet holds is on FRIA Support, Ceipal 25 to Classet 33. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Ceipal 20, Classet 76) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 50% of the weighted advantage Classet holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -20.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -20 beside that -20.3.

§ 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.
