§ The result
Sense leads Pin on all 7 criteria.
Sense finishes 18 points clear of Pin under rubric v1.0 — 58 against 40 — across the Screening and Sourcing cohorts. Sense leads every one of the 7 criteria, Pin none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Post-Market Monitoring, Pin 45 to Sense 52. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Pin 35, Sense 72, 18% weight), is only 37% of the weighted advantage Sense builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -18.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -18 beside that -18.1.

§ 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.
