§ The result
Knockri leads Alooba by 9 points.
Knockri scores 47 and Alooba 38 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Video interview and Assessment cohorts. The 7 criteria split 5 to 2 in favour of Knockri: Knockri is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and Alooba on Customer Documentation. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Alooba 40, Knockri 55, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Knockri 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 -8.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -8.1.

§ 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.
