Testlify holds a 4-point edge over Manatal under rubric v1.0, 45 to 41, across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. The criteria split evenly, 3 each to Manatal and Testlify, with 1 level, and the weighted points on the side Testlify holds, headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation, settle the total. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Manatal 33, Testlify 52 — and at a 20% weight it carries 67% of the weighted advantage Testlify holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

§ 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.
