§ The result
iMocha leads Retorio on all 7 criteria.
iMocha sits 12 points above Retorio under rubric v1.0, 56 against 44, with both filed under Assessment. iMocha is ahead of Retorio on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Bias Audit Transparency at iMocha 44 to Retorio 40. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (iMocha 68, Retorio 50, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage iMocha 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 +12.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +12 beside that +12.1.

§ 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.
