§ The result
Factorial leads Loxo on all 7 criteria.
Factorial scores 46 and Loxo 37 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Factorial takes all 7 criteria and Loxo none of them; the nearest contest is Customer Documentation, Factorial 60 to Loxo 58. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Factorial 52, Loxo 30) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 48% of the weighted advantage Factorial holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +9.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +9.2.

§ 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.
