§ The result
Xobin leads Pillar on all 7 criteria.
Xobin, filed under Assessment, comes out 10 points above Pillar, filed under Screening: 50 against 40 under rubric v1.0. Xobin takes all 7 criteria and Pillar none of them; the nearest contest is Bias Audit Transparency, Pillar 38 to Xobin 43. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Pillar 42, Xobin 62 — and at a 20% weight it carries 40% of the weighted advantage Xobin holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -10.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -10.1.

§ 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.
