§ The result
Maki People leads Arena Analytics on all 7 criteria.
Maki People (Assessment) and Arena Analytics (Screening) are 35 points apart under rubric v1.0, 67 (D) for Maki People against 32 (F) for Arena Analytics. On every one of the 7 criteria Maki People scores 20 raw points or more above Arena Analytics, which leads none of them. The advantage Maki People holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Arena Analytics 25, Maki People 80, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 28% of the weighted points Maki People gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -35.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 35.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -35 beside that -35.0.

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.
