§ The result
Textkernel leads Aon Assessment on all 7 criteria.
Textkernel finishes 16 points clear of Aon Assessment under rubric v1.0 — 51 against 35 — across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Textkernel 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 Textkernel 32. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Aon Assessment 30, Textkernel 55, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage Textkernel 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 -15.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -16 beside that -15.8.

§ 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.
