§ The result
Xobin leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
Xobin sits 14 points above micro1 under rubric v1.0 — 50 against 36 — with Xobin filed under Assessment and micro1 under Screening. Xobin takes all 7 criteria and micro1 none of them; the nearest contest is Human Oversight Design, micro1 48 to Xobin 58. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (micro1 20, Xobin 43, 18% weight), is only 29% of the weighted advantage Xobin builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -14.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -14.2.

§ 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.
