§ The result
1 point separates Equalture and Ribbon.
Equalture (Assessment) edges Ribbon (Screening) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 44 to 43. Equalture leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Data Governance Disclosure, while Ribbon leads 2, including Human Oversight Design. The advantage Equalture holds is spread out: Data Governance Disclosure is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Equalture 55, Ribbon 50, 15% weight), yet it supplies only 38% of the weighted points Equalture gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +0.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +0.9.

§ 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.
