§ The result
Coderbyte leads micro1 by 6 points.
Under rubric v1.0, Coderbyte, filed under Assessment, finishes on 42 and micro1, filed under Screening, on 36, 6 points apart. The 7 criteria split 5 to 1 in favour of Coderbyte, with 1 level: Coderbyte is ahead on Post-Market Monitoring and micro1 on Article 11 Technical Documentation. The advantage Coderbyte holds is spread out: Post-Market Monitoring is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Coderbyte 40, micro1 25, 12% weight), yet it supplies only 24% of the weighted points Coderbyte gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

1.0 weighted points to Coderbyte
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +6.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.8 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 +6.4.

§ 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.
