§ The result
Criteria leads Loxo on all 7 criteria.
Criteria finishes 16 points clear of Loxo under rubric v1.0 — 53 against 37 — across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. Criteria leads every one of the 7 criteria, Loxo none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Criteria 32 to Loxo 30. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Criteria 68, Loxo 30 — and at a 20% weight it carries 48% of the weighted advantage Criteria 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 +15.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +15.9.

§ 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.
