§ The result
Greenhouse leads Covey on all 7 criteria.
Greenhouse finishes 20 points clear of Covey under rubric v1.0 — 67 (D) against 47 (F) — across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Greenhouse leads every one of the 7 criteria, Covey none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Customer Documentation, Covey 58 to Greenhouse 64. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Covey 40, Greenhouse 78, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Greenhouse 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 -20.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -20 beside that -20.0.

§ 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.
