§ The result
1 point separates RecruitBot and micro1.
RecruitBot holds a 1-point edge over micro1 under rubric v1.0, 37 to 36, across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. micro1 takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them, against 6 for RecruitBot, whose share includes Post-Market Monitoring. Article 11 Technical Documentation is at once the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing, and it belongs to micro1 — micro1 50, RecruitBot 33, on a 20% weight — which is 100% of the weighted advantage micro1 holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -1.0.

§ 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.
