§ The result
Sapia.ai leads Testlify on all 7 criteria.
Both filed under Assessment, Sapia.ai and Testlify come out 56 and 45 under rubric v1.0, 11 points in favour of Sapia.ai. Sapia.ai leads every one of the 7 criteria, Testlify none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Sapia.ai 35 to Testlify 33. The advantage Sapia.ai holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Sapia.ai 52, Testlify 30, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 36% of the weighted points Sapia.ai gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

§ 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.
