§ The result
Paradox takes the total, DevSkiller takes more of the criteria.
Paradox (Scheduling) edges DevSkiller (Assessment) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 41 to 39. DevSkiller leads more of the criteria than Paradox — 4 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Paradox leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Paradox. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — DevSkiller 22, Paradox 50 — and at an 18% weight it carries 83% of the weighted advantage Paradox holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -2.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -2.8.

§ 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.
