§ The result
ADP leads eSkill by 7 points.
ADP scores 48 and eSkill 41 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. ADP leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while eSkill leads 2, including FRIA Support. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (ADP 46, eSkill 25) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 50% of the weighted advantage ADP holds across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +7.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +7 beside that +7.0.

§ 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.
