§ The result
2 points separate Classet and Criteria.
Classet holds a 2-point edge over Criteria under rubric v1.0, 55 to 53, across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. The 7 criteria split 4 to 3 in favour of Classet: Classet is ahead on Bias Audit Transparency and Criteria on Article 11 Technical Documentation. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Classet 76, Criteria 48 — and at an 18% weight it carries 69% of the weighted advantage Classet holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +2.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.5 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 +2.0.

§ 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.
