§ The result
Pin leads SeekOut by 6 points.
Inside the Sourcing cohort, rubric v1.0 puts Pin on 40 and SeekOut on 34, 6 points apart. Pin leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Post-Market Monitoring, while SeekOut leads 2, including Article 11 Technical Documentation. The advantage Pin holds is spread out: Post-Market Monitoring is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Pin 45, SeekOut 25, 12% weight), yet it supplies only 32% of the weighted points Pin gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +5.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +5.7.

§ 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.
