§ The result
Arctic Shores leads eSkill by 5 points.
Arctic Shores scores 46 and eSkill 41 under rubric v1.0 — a 5-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. eSkill takes 2 of the 7 criteria, Post-Market Monitoring among them, against 5 for Arctic Shores, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Arctic Shores 35, eSkill 25, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Arctic Shores holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +4.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.9 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 +4.2.

§ 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.
