§ The result
1 point separates SEEK and Criteria.
SEEK (Screening) edges Criteria (Assessment) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 54 to 53. Criteria takes 2 of the 7 criteria, Bias Audit Transparency among them, against 4 for SEEK, whose share includes Post-Market Monitoring, and 1 is level. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing are the same criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, and Criteria holds it (Criteria 48, SEEK 40, 18% weight), worth 83% of the weighted advantage Criteria builds across the 2 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -0.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -0.7.

§ 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.
