§ The result
Ribbon leads Qureos on all 7 criteria.
Both filed under Screening, Ribbon and Qureos come out 43 and 33 under rubric v1.0, 10 points in favour of Ribbon. Ribbon takes all 7 criteria and Qureos none of them; the nearest contest is Human Oversight Design, Qureos 54 to Ribbon 55. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Qureos 12, Ribbon 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 45% of the weighted advantage Ribbon 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 -10.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -10.4.

§ 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.
