§ The result
Criteria leads Equalture on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Criteria scores 53 and Equalture 44 under rubric v1.0 — a 9-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. Criteria leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Equalture is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Criteria leads is FRIA Support, Criteria 32 to Equalture 30. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Criteria 68, Equalture 45 — and at a 20% weight it carries 54% of the weighted advantage Criteria 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 +8.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +8.6.

§ 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.
