§ The result
PageUp leads SHL on all 7 criteria.
PageUp sits 13 points above SHL under rubric v1.0 — 64 (D) against 51 (F) — with PageUp filed under ATS-integrated and SHL under Assessment. PageUp leads every one of the 7 criteria, SHL none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Customer Documentation, PageUp 63 to SHL 60. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (PageUp 80, SHL 50) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 41% of the weighted advantage PageUp holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +13.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +13.2.

§ 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.
