§ The result
Talkpush leads Emi on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Talkpush sits 13 points above Emi under rubric v1.0, 46 against 33, with both filed under Screening. Emi is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Talkpush takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is FRIA Support, Emi 25 to Talkpush 27. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Emi 28, Talkpush 52, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Talkpush 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 -13.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -13.1.

§ 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.
