§ The result
CoderPad leads TestDome by 5 points.
CoderPad finishes 5 points ahead of TestDome under rubric v1.0, 42 to 37, both scored as Assessment entries. CoderPad leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Post-Market Monitoring, while TestDome leads 1, including Customer Documentation, and 1 is level. The advantage CoderPad holds is spread out: Post-Market Monitoring is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (CoderPad 44, TestDome 30, 12% weight), yet it supplies only 35% of the weighted points CoderPad gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +4.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 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.
