§ The result
Indeed leads Emi on all 7 criteria.
Indeed finishes 17 points clear of Emi under rubric v1.0 — 50 against 33 — across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. Indeed leads every one of the 7 criteria, Emi none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Post-Market Monitoring, Emi 35 to Indeed 40. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Emi 28, Indeed 58, 20% weight), is only 34% of the weighted advantage Indeed builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -17.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -17 beside that -17.8.

§ 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.
