§ The result
PageUp leads RippleMatch on all 7 criteria.
PageUp finishes 18 points clear of RippleMatch under rubric v1.0 — 64 (D) against 46 (F) — across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Of the 7 criteria RippleMatch wins none, and the narrowest lead PageUp holds is on Customer Documentation, PageUp 63 to RippleMatch 60. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (PageUp 74, RippleMatch 46, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage PageUp 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 +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.
