§ The result
Checkr leads Aon Assessment on all 7 criteria.
Checkr finishes 19 points clear of Aon Assessment under rubric v1.0 — 54 against 35 — across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. Checkr leads every one of the 7 criteria and 5 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; Aon Assessment leads none. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Aon Assessment 40, Checkr 70, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Checkr 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 -18.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -19 beside that -18.7.

§ 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.
