§ The result
Tribepad leads Pin on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Tribepad (ATS-integrated) opens a 16-point lead on Pin (Sourcing), 56 to 40. Pin is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Tribepad takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Customer Documentation, Pin 55 to Tribepad 58. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Pin 35, Tribepad 78 — and at an 18% weight it carries 48% of the weighted advantage Tribepad holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -16.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -16 beside that -16.1.

§ 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.
