§ The result
Textkernel leads Entelo on all 7 criteria.
Textkernel finishes 18 points clear of Entelo inside the Sourcing cohort under rubric v1.0: 51 against 33. Textkernel leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; Entelo leads none. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Entelo 20, Textkernel 55, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Textkernel 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 -18.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -18 beside that -18.4.

§ 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.
