§ The result
Glider AI leads Ribbon on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Glider AI scores 52 and Ribbon 43 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Glider AI leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Ribbon is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Glider AI leads is FRIA Support, Glider AI 35 to Ribbon 33. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Glider AI 68, Ribbon 38) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 61% of the weighted advantage Glider AI holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +8.8.

§ 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.
