§ The result
3 points separate Criteria and Xobin.
Under rubric v1.0, Criteria and Xobin finish 3 points apart, 53 to 50, as two Assessment entries. The 7 criteria split 4 to 2 in favour of Criteria, with 1 level: Criteria is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and Xobin on FRIA Support. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Criteria 68, Xobin 62, 20% weight), is only 36% of the weighted advantage Criteria builds across the 4 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +2.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +2.6.

§ 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.
