§ The result
SHL leads Loxo on 5 of the 7 criteria.
SHL sits 14 points above Loxo under rubric v1.0 — 51 against 37 — with SHL filed under Assessment and Loxo under Sourcing. SHL leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Loxo is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 SHL leads is Customer Documentation, Loxo 58 to SHL 60. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Loxo 30, SHL 60 — and at a 20% weight it carries 44% of the weighted advantage SHL holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -13.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.7 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 -13.7.

§ 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.
