§ The result
Pillar leads Aon Assessment on all 7 criteria.
Pillar scores 40 and Aon Assessment 35 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. Pillar is ahead of Aon Assessment on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Article 11 Technical Documentation at Aon Assessment 40 to Pillar 42. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Aon Assessment 30, Pillar 38, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage Pillar 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 -5.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.1 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.

§ 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.
