Under rubric v1.0, PageUp (ATS-integrated) opens a 17-point lead on Covey (Sourcing), 64 (D) to 47 (F). PageUp leads every one of the 7 criteria, Covey none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Customer Documentation, Covey 58 to PageUp 63. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Covey 40, PageUp 74 — and at a 20% weight it carries 40% of the weighted advantage PageUp 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 -17.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -17 beside that -17.0.

§ 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.
