§ The result
Tribepad leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Tribepad (ATS-integrated) opens a 20-point lead on micro1 (Screening), 56 to 36. Tribepad takes all 7 criteria and micro1 none of them; the nearest contest is Article 11 Technical Documentation, micro1 50 to Tribepad 56. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — micro1 20, Tribepad 78 — and at an 18% weight it carries 52% of the weighted advantage Tribepad 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 -20.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -20 beside that -20.2.

§ 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.
