§ The result
Korn Ferry leads Arena Analytics on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Korn Ferry sits 14 points above Arena Analytics under rubric v1.0 — 46 against 32 — with Korn Ferry filed under Assessment and Arena Analytics under Screening. Korn Ferry leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Arena Analytics is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Korn Ferry leads is Post-Market Monitoring, Arena Analytics 28 to Korn Ferry 33. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Arena Analytics 30, Korn Ferry 58, 20% weight), is only 38% of the weighted advantage Korn Ferry builds across the 6 criteria it leads.
