§ The result
4 points separate Pinpoint and Criteria.
Pinpoint (ATS-integrated) edges Criteria (Assessment) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 57 to 53. Pinpoint leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Post-Market Monitoring, while Criteria leads 1, including Bias Audit Transparency. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Criteria 42, Pinpoint 52, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 23% of the weighted advantage Pinpoint holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -4.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -4.2.

§ 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.
