§ The result
SHL leads Qureos on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, SHL (Assessment) opens an 18-point lead on Qureos (Screening), 51 to 33. Of the 7 criteria Qureos wins none, and the narrowest lead SHL holds is on Human Oversight Design, Qureos 54 to SHL 58. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Qureos 12, SHL 50, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage SHL 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 -17.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -18 beside that -17.8.

§ 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.
