§ The result
Criteria leads X0PA AI by 5 points.
Criteria scores 53 and X0PA AI 48 under rubric v1.0 — a 5-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. Criteria leads 4 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while X0PA AI leads 2, including FRIA Support, and 1 is level. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Criteria 68, X0PA AI 50 — and at a 20% weight it carries 66% of the weighted advantage Criteria holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +4.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +4.4.

§ 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.
