§ The result
Findem leads SeekOut on all 7 criteria.
Findem finishes 24 points clear of SeekOut inside the Sourcing cohort under rubric v1.0: 58 against 34. Findem leads every one of the 7 criteria and 4 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; SeekOut leads none. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Findem 83, SeekOut 40, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 33% 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 +23.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 23.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +24 beside that +23.3.

§ 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.
