§ The result
Glider AI leads Cognisess on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Glider AI opens a 22-point lead on Cognisess, 52 to 30, with both scored in the Assessment cohort. Cognisess leads none of the 7 criteria, and Glider AI is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them. The advantage Glider AI holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Cognisess 20, Glider AI 68, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Glider AI gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -22.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 22.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -22 beside that -22.2.

§ 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.
