§ The result
Maki People leads Pin on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 27 points between Maki People (Assessment) and Pin (Sourcing): 67 (D) for Maki People, 40 (F) for Pin. Maki People leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; Pin leads none. The advantage Maki People holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Maki People 80, Pin 35, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 31% of the weighted points Maki People gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +26.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 26.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +27 beside that +26.4.

§ 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.
