§ The result
Adaface leads HireQuotient by 5 points.
Under rubric v1.0, Adaface, filed under Assessment, finishes on 39 and HireQuotient, filed under Sourcing, on 34, 5 points apart. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of Adaface: Adaface is ahead on Data Governance Disclosure and HireQuotient on Human Oversight Design.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +5.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +5.1.
