§ The result
SHL leads Draup on 6 of the 7 criteria.
SHL scores 51 and Draup 42 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. SHL leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Draup is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 SHL leads is Customer Documentation, Draup 57 to SHL 60. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Draup 33, SHL 50, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage SHL 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 -8.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -8.5.

§ 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.
