§ The result
SEEK leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
The Screening cohort pairing of SEEK and micro1 comes out 54 to 36 under rubric v1.0, an 18-point lead for SEEK. SEEK leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; micro1 leads none. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap (micro1 25, SEEK 50) but not the heaviest weighted swing, which is Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (micro1 50, SEEK 70), 23% of the weighted advantage SEEK builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -17.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -18 beside that -17.6.

§ 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.
