§ The result
Crosschq leads Keka on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Crosschq, filed under Screening, comes out 10 points above Keka, filed under ATS-integrated: 47 against 37 under rubric v1.0. Keka is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Crosschq takes 5, the remaining 2 are level, and the nearest of those 5 is Customer Documentation, Crosschq 62 to Keka 55. The advantage Crosschq holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Crosschq 50, Keka 30, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 38% of the weighted points Crosschq gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +10.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +10 beside that +10.4.

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.
