§ The result
Tengai leads Pulsifi on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Tengai, filed under Screening, finishes on 42 and Pulsifi, filed under Assessment, on 33, 9 points apart. Tengai takes all 7 criteria from Pulsifi without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is FRIA Support, Pulsifi 25 to Tengai 28. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Pulsifi 30, Tengai 45, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 33% of the weighted advantage Tengai 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 -9.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.0.

§ 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.
