§ The result
Indeed leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
Indeed, filed under Sourcing, comes out 14 points above micro1, filed under Screening: 50 against 36 under rubric v1.0. Indeed takes all 7 criteria from micro1 without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Article 11 Technical Documentation, Indeed 58 to micro1 50. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: Customer Documentation (Indeed 64, micro1 45) and Bias Audit Transparency at 18% (Indeed 38, micro1 20), the second being 23% of the weighted advantage Indeed 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 +14.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +14.3.

§ 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.
