§ The result
Xobin leads Tengai on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Xobin, filed under Assessment, finishes on 50 and Tengai, filed under Screening, on 42, 8 points apart. Tengai is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Xobin takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Post-Market Monitoring, Tengai 33 to Xobin 38. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Tengai 45, Xobin 62 — and at a 20% weight it carries 41% of the weighted advantage Xobin holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -8.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -8.3.

§ 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.
