Factorial (ATS-integrated) edges CoderPad (Assessment) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 46 to 42. Factorial is ahead of CoderPad on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Human Oversight Design at CoderPad 57 to Factorial 58. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (CoderPad 45, Factorial 52, 20% weight), is only 31% of the weighted advantage Factorial builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -4.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -4.6.

§ 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.
