§ The result
4 points separate Vincere and Pillar.
Vincere holds a 4-point edge over Pillar under rubric v1.0, 44 to 40, across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of Vincere: Vincere is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and Pillar on Bias Audit Transparency. Bias Audit Transparency is at once the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing, and it belongs to Pillar — Pillar 38, Vincere 18, on an 18% weight — which is 100% of the weighted advantage Pillar holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

Shares are of 11.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -4.2.

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.
