§ The result
HeyMilo leads Covey on all 7 criteria.
HeyMilo sits 14 points above Covey under rubric v1.0 — 61 (D) against 47 (F) — with HeyMilo filed under Screening and Covey under Sourcing. HeyMilo is ahead of Covey on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Customer Documentation at Covey 58 to HeyMilo 66. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Covey 40, HeyMilo 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 26% of the weighted advantage HeyMilo 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 -13.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -13.6.

§ 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.
