§ The result
Sova Assessment leads Qureos on all 7 criteria.
Sova Assessment finishes 15 points clear of Qureos under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 33 — across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Of the 7 criteria Qureos wins none, and the narrowest lead Sova Assessment holds is on Human Oversight Design, Qureos 54 to Sova Assessment 55. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Qureos 28, Sova Assessment 55, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage Sova Assessment 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 -15.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -15 beside that -15.0.

§ 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.
