§ The result
Indeed leads Pillar on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Indeed sits 10 points above Pillar under rubric v1.0 — 50 against 40 — with Indeed filed under Sourcing and Pillar under Screening. Indeed leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Pillar is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Indeed leads is Post-Market Monitoring, Indeed 40 to Pillar 33. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Indeed 58, Pillar 42, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Indeed holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +10.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +10 beside that +10.1.

§ 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.
