§ The result
Textkernel leads Clevry on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Textkernel scores 51 and Clevry 45 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Textkernel leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Clevry is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Textkernel leads is FRIA Support, Clevry 30 to Textkernel 32. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Clevry 38, Textkernel 55) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 55% of the weighted advantage Textkernel holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -5.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -5.6.

§ 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.
