§ The result
Findem leads Ribbon on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Findem (Sourcing) opens a 15-point lead on Ribbon (Screening), 58 to 43. Ribbon is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Findem takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is FRIA Support, Findem 38 to Ribbon 33. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Findem 83, Ribbon 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 57% of the weighted advantage Findem holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +14.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +15 beside that +14.3.

§ 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.
