§ The result
Talkpush takes the total, Manatal takes more of the criteria.
Talkpush scores 46 and Manatal 41 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Screening and ATS-integrated cohorts. Manatal leads more of the criteria than Talkpush — 4 to 3 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which Talkpush leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Talkpush. Talkpush takes the heaviest weighted swing, Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (Manatal 33, Talkpush 52), which is 49% of the weighted advantage Talkpush holds; the widest raw gap is a different criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, Manatal 22 to Talkpush 42.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -5.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.5 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 -5.0.

§ 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.
