§ The result
Gloat leads Tengai on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Gloat scores 47 and Tengai 42 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. Gloat leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Tengai is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Gloat leads is Article 11 Technical Documentation, Gloat 48 to Tengai 45. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap (Gloat 42, Tengai 33) but not the heaviest weighted swing, which is Data Governance Disclosure at 15% (Gloat 58, Tengai 50), 25% of the weighted advantage Gloat builds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +4.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +4.8.

§ 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.
