§ The result
Pinpoint leads Pin on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Pinpoint (ATS-integrated) opens a 17-point lead on Pin (Sourcing), 57 to 40. Pinpoint leads every one of the 7 criteria, Pin none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Bias Audit Transparency, Pin 35 to Pinpoint 42. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Pin 30, Pinpoint 72 — and at a 20% weight it carries 50% of the weighted advantage Pinpoint 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 -17.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -17 beside that -17.0.

§ 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.
