§ The result
Findem leads Phenom by 6 points.
Findem scores 58 and Phenom 52 under rubric v1.0 — a 6-point gap inside the Sourcing cohort. Findem leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including FRIA Support, while Phenom leads 1, including Data Governance Disclosure, and 1 is level. FRIA Support is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Findem 38, Phenom 25, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Findem holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +5.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +5.2.

§ 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.
