Findem leads every one of the 7 criteria, Pillar none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Findem 38 to Pillar 30. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Findem 83, Pillar 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 46% of the weighted advantage Findem holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +17.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.5 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 +17.5.

§ 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.
