§ The result
Findem leads Criteria by 5 points.
Findem scores 58 and Criteria 53 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Criteria and Findem each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split Findem holds (headed by Bias Audit Transparency) adds up to more weighted points. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Criteria 48, Findem 83 — and at an 18% weight it carries 82% of the weighted advantage Findem holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -4.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -5 beside that -4.8.

§ 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.
