§ The result
Arctic Shores leads DevSkiller by 7 points.
Arctic Shores scores 46 and DevSkiller 39 under rubric v1.0 — a 7-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. Arctic Shores leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while DevSkiller leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Arctic Shores 50, DevSkiller 35, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Arctic Shores holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.
