§ The result
Criteria leads RecruitBot on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Criteria (Assessment) opens a 16-point lead on RecruitBot (Sourcing), 53 to 37. Criteria takes all 7 criteria and RecruitBot none of them; the nearest contest is Post-Market Monitoring, Criteria 42 to RecruitBot 40. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Criteria 68, RecruitBot 33 — and at a 20% weight it carries 44% 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.
