§ The result
X0PA AI leads Ribbon on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, X0PA AI, filed under Assessment, finishes on 48 and Ribbon, filed under Screening, on 43, 5 points apart. X0PA AI takes all 7 criteria from Ribbon without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Human Oversight Design, Ribbon 55 to X0PA AI 57. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Ribbon 42, X0PA AI 50, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 31% of the weighted advantage X0PA AI 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 -5.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -5 beside that -5.1.

§ 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.
