§ The result
2 points separate Xobin and X0PA AI.
Xobin holds a 2-point edge over X0PA AI under rubric v1.0, 50 to 48, with both scored in the Assessment cohort. X0PA AI and Xobin each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split Xobin holds (headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation) adds up to more weighted points. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (X0PA AI 50, Xobin 62) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 90% of the weighted advantage Xobin holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -1.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -1.8.

§ 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.
