§ The result
PageUp leads Sova Assessment on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, PageUp (ATS-integrated) opens a 16-point lead on Sova Assessment (Assessment), 64 (D) to 48 (F). Sova Assessment is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: PageUp takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Customer Documentation, PageUp 63 to Sova Assessment 62. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — PageUp 80, Sova Assessment 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 47% of the weighted advantage PageUp holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +16.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +16.0.

§ 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.
