§ The result
Sense leads CoderPad on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Sense (Screening) opens a 16-point lead on CoderPad (Assessment), 58 to 42. Of the 7 criteria CoderPad wins none, and the narrowest lead Sense holds is on Data Governance Disclosure, CoderPad 54 to Sense 58. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — CoderPad 20, Sense 72 — and at an 18% weight it carries 56% of the weighted advantage Sense holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -16.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -16 beside that -16.6.

§ 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.
