§ The result
Pillar takes the total, Fetcher takes more of the criteria.
Pillar (Screening) edges Fetcher (Sourcing) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 40 to 37. Fetcher leads more of the criteria than Pillar — 4 to 3 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which Pillar leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Pillar. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Fetcher 27, Pillar 42 — and at a 20% weight it carries 54% of the weighted advantage Pillar holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -2.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -2.9.

§ 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.
