§ The result
Fountain leads Entelo on all 7 criteria.
Fountain sits 11 points above Entelo under rubric v1.0 — 44 against 33 — with Fountain filed under Screening and Entelo under Sourcing. Fountain leads every one of the 7 criteria, Entelo none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Entelo 25 to Fountain 30. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Entelo 30, Fountain 50, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Fountain holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -11.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -11.5.

§ 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.
