§ The result
Maki People leads ConverzAI on all 7 criteria.
Maki People finishes 23 points clear of ConverzAI under rubric v1.0 — 67 (D) against 44 (F) — across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Maki People leads every one of the 7 criteria and 5 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; ConverzAI leads none. The advantage Maki People holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (ConverzAI 30, Maki People 64, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 31% of the weighted points Maki People gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Shares are of 22.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -23 beside that -22.1.

§ 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.
