§ The result
iMocha leads UKG on all 7 criteria.
iMocha sits 12 points above UKG under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 44 — with iMocha filed under Assessment and UKG under ATS-integrated. iMocha leads every one of the 7 criteria, UKG none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, iMocha 38 to UKG 35. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (iMocha 68, UKG 48, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 33% 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 +12.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.0 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 +12.0.

§ 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.
