§ The result
Gloat leads Mercor on all 7 criteria.
Gloat finishes 24 points clear of Mercor under rubric v1.0 — 47 against 23 — across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. Gloat leads every one of the 7 criteria and 6 of them by 20 raw points or more, Data Governance Disclosure among them; Mercor leads none. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Gloat 58, Mercor 22, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 23% of the weighted advantage Gloat 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 +23.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 23.6 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 +23.6.

§ 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.
