§ The result
AmazingHiring leads Mercor on all 7 criteria.
AmazingHiring sits 14 points above Mercor under rubric v1.0 — 37 against 23 — with AmazingHiring filed under Sourcing and Mercor under Screening. AmazingHiring leads every one of the 7 criteria, Mercor none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, AmazingHiring 48 to Mercor 42. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (AmazingHiring 50, Mercor 22, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 31% of the weighted advantage AmazingHiring 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 +13.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +13.7.
