§ The result
PageUp leads Factorial on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, PageUp opens an 18-point lead on Factorial, 64 (D) to 46 (F), with both scored in the ATS-integrated cohort. Of the 7 criteria Factorial wins none, and the narrowest lead PageUp holds is on Customer Documentation, Factorial 60 to PageUp 63. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Factorial 25, PageUp 80) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 56% of the weighted advantage PageUp holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -17.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.8 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 -17.8.

§ 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.
