§ The result
SEEK leads Tengai on all 7 criteria.
Both filed under Screening, SEEK and Tengai come out 54 and 42 under rubric v1.0, 12 points in favour of SEEK. SEEK leads every one of the 7 criteria, Tengai none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, SEEK 32 to Tengai 28. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — SEEK 70, Tengai 45 — and at a 20% weight it carries 43% of the weighted advantage SEEK 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 +11.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +12 beside that +11.6.

§ 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.
