§ The result
ClearCo (ClearCompany) leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
ClearCo (ClearCompany) finishes 16 points clear of XOR under rubric v1.0 — 46 against 30 — across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. ClearCo (ClearCompany) takes all 7 criteria and XOR none of them; the nearest contest is Post-Market Monitoring, ClearCo (ClearCompany) 37 to XOR 33. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (ClearCo (ClearCompany) 56, XOR 20) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 44% of the weighted advantage ClearCo (ClearCompany) holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +16.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +16.2.

§ 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.
