§ The result
Criteria leads Pulsifi on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Criteria opens a 20-point lead on Pulsifi, 53 to 33, with both scored in the Assessment cohort. Criteria leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; Pulsifi leads none. The advantage Criteria holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Criteria 68, Pulsifi 30, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 38% of the weighted points Criteria gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +19.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 19.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +20 beside that +19.9.

§ 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.
