§ The result
Xobin leads Ceipal on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Xobin (Assessment) opens a 15-point lead on Ceipal (ATS-integrated), 50 to 35. Ceipal is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Xobin takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Customer Documentation, Ceipal 53 to Xobin 60. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Ceipal 30, Xobin 62 — and at a 20% weight it carries 41% of the weighted advantage Xobin holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -15.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -15 beside that -15.7.

§ 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.
