§ The result
Eightfold AI leads X0PA AI on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Eightfold AI finishes 16 points clear of X0PA AI under rubric v1.0 — 64 (D) against 48 (F) — across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Eightfold AI leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so X0PA AI is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Eightfold AI leads is Human Oversight Design, Eightfold AI 60 to X0PA AI 57. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Eightfold AI 85, X0PA AI 44 — and at an 18% weight it carries 47% of the weighted advantage Eightfold AI 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 +15.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +15.6.

§ 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.
