§ The result
Pinpoint leads Ribbon on all 7 criteria.
Pinpoint, filed under ATS-integrated, comes out 14 points above Ribbon, filed under Screening: 57 against 43 under rubric v1.0. Of the 7 criteria Ribbon wins none, and the narrowest lead Pinpoint holds is on Bias Audit Transparency, Pinpoint 42 to Ribbon 38. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Pinpoint 72, Ribbon 42 — and at a 20% weight it carries 44% 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 +13.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +13.7.

§ 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.
