§ The result
Pin leads Ceipal on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Pin scores 40 and Ceipal 35 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Pin leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Ceipal is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Pin leads is Customer Documentation, Ceipal 53 to Pin 55. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Ceipal 20, Pin 35) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 49% of the weighted advantage Pin holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -5.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -5 beside that -5.5.

§ 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.
