§ The result
Findem leads Covey on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Findem sits 11 points above Covey under rubric v1.0, 58 against 47, with both filed under Sourcing. Findem leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Covey is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Findem leads is Data Governance Disclosure, Covey 52 to Findem 57. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Covey 40, Findem 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Findem holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -10.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.7 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 -10.7.

§ 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.
