§ The result
Indeed leads Loxo on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Both filed under Sourcing, Indeed and Loxo come out 50 and 37 under rubric v1.0, 13 points in favour of Indeed. Indeed leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Loxo is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Indeed leads is Customer Documentation, Indeed 64 to Loxo 58. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Indeed 58, Loxo 30) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 42% of the weighted advantage Indeed holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +13.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +13.3.

§ 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.
