Under rubric v1.0, Phenom, filed under Sourcing, finishes on 52 and Knockri, filed under Video interview, on 47, 5 points apart. The criteria split evenly, 2 each to Knockri and Phenom, with 3 level, and the weighted points on the side Phenom holds, headed by Bias Audit Transparency, settle the total. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Knockri 35, Phenom 75 — and at an 18% weight it carries 91% of the weighted advantage Phenom holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 10.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -5 beside that -5.8.

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.
