§ The result
Testlify leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
Testlify scores 45 and micro1 36 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Testlify is ahead of micro1 on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Article 11 Technical Documentation at micro1 50 to Testlify 52. The advantage Testlify holds is spread out: Post-Market Monitoring is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (micro1 25, Testlify 42, 12% weight), yet it supplies only 22% of the weighted points Testlify gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

0.4 weighted points to Testlify
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.4.

§ 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.
