§ The result
Gem leads CoderPad on all 7 criteria.
Gem sits 13 points above CoderPad under rubric v1.0 — 55 against 42 — with Gem filed under Sourcing and CoderPad under Assessment. Gem takes all 7 criteria and CoderPad none of them; the nearest contest is Data Governance Disclosure, CoderPad 54 to Gem 57. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (CoderPad 20, Gem 66) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 61% of the weighted advantage Gem holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -13.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -13.5.

§ 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.
