§ The result
Loxo leads Ceipal on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Loxo (Sourcing) edges Ceipal (ATS-integrated) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 37 to 35. Loxo leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Ceipal is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Loxo leads is Post-Market Monitoring, Ceipal 38 to Loxo 40. FRIA Support is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Ceipal 25, Loxo 30, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage Loxo holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -2.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 2.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -2.5.

§ 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.
