§ The result
X0PA AI leads Ceipal on all 7 criteria.
X0PA AI sits 13 points above Ceipal under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 35 — with X0PA AI filed under Assessment and Ceipal under ATS-integrated. X0PA AI leads every one of the 7 criteria, Ceipal none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Post-Market Monitoring, Ceipal 38 to X0PA AI 40. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Ceipal 20, X0PA AI 44, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 31% of the weighted advantage X0PA AI 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 -13.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -13.9.

§ 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.
