§ The result
Paradox leads Entelo on 4 of the 7 criteria.
Paradox scores 41 and Entelo 33 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Scheduling and Sourcing cohorts. Paradox leads 4 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 3 are level, so Entelo is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 4 Paradox leads is Customer Documentation, Entelo 40 to Paradox 45. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Entelo 20, Paradox 50 — and at an 18% weight it carries 62% of the weighted advantage Paradox holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to -8.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -8.8.

§ 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.
