§ The result
Pinpoint leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Pinpoint (ATS-integrated) opens a 21-point lead on micro1 (Screening), 57 to 36. micro1 leads none of the 7 criteria, and Pinpoint is ahead on 5 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: Post-Market Monitoring (micro1 25, Pinpoint 52) and Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (micro1 50, Pinpoint 72), the second being 21% of the weighted advantage Pinpoint holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -21.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 21.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -21 beside that -21.0.

§ 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.
