§ The result
Sova Assessment leads Turing on all 7 criteria.
Sova Assessment sits 12 points above Turing under rubric v1.0, 48 against 36, with both filed under Assessment. Sova Assessment is ahead of Turing on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Data Governance Disclosure at Sova Assessment 52 to Turing 44. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: FRIA Support (Sova Assessment 40, Turing 25) and Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (Sova Assessment 55, Turing 42), the second being 22% of the weighted advantage Sova Assessment holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

1.1 weighted points to Sova Assessment
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +11.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.7 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 +11.7.

§ 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.
