§ The result
Sense takes the total, Pinpoint takes more of the criteria.
Sense (Screening) edges Pinpoint (ATS-integrated) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 58 to 57. Pinpoint leads more of the criteria than Sense — 3 to 1 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Sense leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Sense. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Pinpoint 42, Sense 72 — and at an 18% weight it carries 100% of the weighted advantage Sense holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to -1.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -1.2.

§ 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.
