§ The result
Tribepad leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Tribepad (ATS-integrated) and XOR (Screening) are 26 points apart under rubric v1.0, 56 for Tribepad against 30 for XOR. XOR leads none of the 7 criteria, and Tribepad is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Tribepad 78, XOR 18 — and at an 18% weight it carries 41% of the weighted advantage Tribepad 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 +26.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 26.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +26 beside that +26.3.

§ 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.
