§ The result
CoderPad takes the total, Manatal takes more of the criteria.
CoderPad holds a 1-point edge over Manatal under rubric v1.0, 42 to 41, across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. Manatal leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for CoderPad, yet CoderPad takes Article 11 Technical Documentation, which carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — CoderPad 45, Manatal 33 — and at a 20% weight it carries 85% of the weighted advantage CoderPad holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +1.0 — 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 +1 beside that +1.0.

§ 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.
