§ The result
PageUp leads Ceipal on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 separates PageUp and Ceipal, both ATS-integrated entries, by 29 points: 64 (D) for PageUp, 35 (F) for Ceipal. PageUp takes all 7 criteria and Ceipal none of them; the nearest contest is Customer Documentation, Ceipal 53 to PageUp 63. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Ceipal 20, PageUp 80, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage PageUp 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 -29.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 29.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -29 beside that -29.4.

§ 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.
