Tribepad sits 14 points above Tengai under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 42 — with Tribepad filed under ATS-integrated and Tengai under Screening. Tribepad leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Tengai is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Tribepad leads is FRIA Support, Tengai 28 to Tribepad 30. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Tengai 33, Tribepad 78) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 57% of the weighted advantage Tribepad holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -14.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -14.3.

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.
