§ The result
Xobin leads Retorio on all 7 criteria.
Xobin scores 50 and Retorio 44 under rubric v1.0 — a 6-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. Xobin takes all 7 criteria from Retorio without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Bias Audit Transparency, Retorio 40 to Xobin 43. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Retorio 50, Xobin 62, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Xobin 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 -6.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -6.6.

§ 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.
