§ The result
Entelo leads Mercor on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Entelo sits 10 points above Mercor under rubric v1.0 — 33 against 23 — with Entelo filed under Sourcing and Mercor under Screening. Entelo leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Mercor is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Entelo leads is FRIA Support, Entelo 25 to Mercor 20. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Entelo 45, Mercor 22, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Entelo holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +10 beside that +9.4.

§ 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.
