§ The result
Gem takes the total, SEEK takes more of the criteria.
Gem (Sourcing) edges SEEK (Screening) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 55 to 54. SEEK leads more of the criteria than Gem — 5 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Gem leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Gem. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Gem 66, SEEK 40) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 91% of the weighted advantage Gem holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +1.6.

§ 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.
