§ The result
Tezi leads Wellfound by 6 points.
Tezi scores 58 and Wellfound 52 under rubric v1.0 — a 6-point gap inside the Screening cohort. Tezi leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Wellfound leads 2, including Customer Documentation. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Tezi 52, Wellfound 40, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Tezi holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +6.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.0.

§ 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.
