§ The result
Harri leads Cognisess on all 7 criteria.
Harri, filed under ATS-integrated, comes out 11 points above Cognisess, filed under Assessment: 41 against 30 under rubric v1.0. Harri leads every one of the 7 criteria, Cognisess none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Bias Audit Transparency, Cognisess 20 to Harri 22. FRIA Support is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Cognisess 20, Harri 44, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Harri 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 -11.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -11.2.

§ 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.
