§ The result
Findem leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 28 points between Findem (Sourcing) and XOR (Screening): 58 for Findem, 30 for XOR. Findem leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; XOR leads none. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Findem 83, XOR 18 — and at an 18% weight it carries 42% 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 +27.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 27.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +28 beside that +27.8.

§ 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.

Findem has 17 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 12 with a source URL, 5 documented absences; XOR has 18 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 11 with a source URL, 7 documented absences; some documentation or audit rows for Findem sit on a domain separate from the vendor's own site.
Provenance
The scores above are documented by 35 evidence rows on file for these two vendors: 17 for Findem, across 2 distinct source domains, and 18 for XOR, across 1 distinct source domain.
