§ The result
Fountain leads TestDome by 7 points.
Fountain scores 44 and TestDome 37 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. TestDome takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Customer Documentation among them, against 6 for Fountain, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Fountain 30, TestDome 15, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Fountain holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +7.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +7 beside that +7.0.

§ 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.
