§ The result
Crosschq leads micro1 on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Crosschq sits 11 points above micro1 under rubric v1.0, 47 against 36, with both filed under Screening. Crosschq leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so micro1 is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Crosschq leads is FRIA Support, Crosschq 30 to micro1 22. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Crosschq 38, micro1 20, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 29% of the weighted advantage Crosschq holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +11.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +11.2.

§ 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.
