§ The result
Fuel50 leads Ceipal on all 7 criteria.
Fuel50 finishes 23 points clear of Ceipal under rubric v1.0 — 58 against 35 — across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Fuel50 takes all 7 criteria and Ceipal none of them; the nearest contest is Post-Market Monitoring, Ceipal 38 to Fuel50 40. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Ceipal 20, Fuel50 68, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Fuel50 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 -23.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 23.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -23 beside that -23.1.

§ 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.
