Test Partnership sits 10 points above Pillar under rubric v1.0 — 50 against 40 — with Test Partnership filed under Assessment and Pillar under Screening. Test Partnership leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Pillar is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Test Partnership leads is FRIA Support, Pillar 30 to Test Partnership 36. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Pillar 42, Test Partnership 57, 20% weight), is only 31% of the weighted advantage Test Partnership builds across the 6 criteria it leads.

§ 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.
