§ The result
Spark Hire leads Aon Assessment on all 7 criteria.
Spark Hire finishes 18 points clear of Aon Assessment under rubric v1.0 — 53 against 35 — across the Video interview and Assessment cohorts. Spark Hire leads every one of the 7 criteria, Aon Assessment none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Aon Assessment 25 to Spark Hire 30. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Aon Assessment 30, Spark Hire 62, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 31% of the weighted advantage Spark Hire holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

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.
