§ The result
Criteria leads TestDome on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Criteria opens a 16-point lead on TestDome, 53 to 37, with both scored in the Assessment cohort. TestDome is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Criteria takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is FRIA Support, Criteria 32 to TestDome 28. The advantage Criteria holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Criteria 48, TestDome 15, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 37% of the weighted points Criteria gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 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.
