§ The result
TestGorilla leads Pillar on 5 of the 7 criteria.
TestGorilla scores 47 and Pillar 40 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. TestGorilla leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Pillar is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 TestGorilla leads is Post-Market Monitoring, Pillar 33 to TestGorilla 38. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: Human Oversight Design (Pillar 48, TestGorilla 60) and Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (Pillar 42, TestGorilla 52), the second being 32% of the weighted advantage TestGorilla holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -6.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -6.3.

§ 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.
