§ The result
Stepstone leads Aon Assessment on all 7 criteria.
Stepstone, filed under Screening, comes out 14 points above Aon Assessment, filed under Assessment: 49 against 35 under rubric v1.0. Stepstone takes all 7 criteria and Aon Assessment none of them; the nearest contest is FRIA Support, Aon Assessment 25 to Stepstone 30. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Aon Assessment 30, Stepstone 50, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 26% of the weighted advantage Stepstone holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 13.8 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 -13.8.
