§ The result
TalentLens leads Arena Analytics on all 7 criteria.
TalentLens, filed under Assessment, comes out 14 points above Arena Analytics, filed under Screening: 46 against 32 under rubric v1.0. Arena Analytics leads none of the 7 criteria, and TalentLens is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them. The advantage TalentLens holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Arena Analytics 30, TalentLens 52, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 31% of the weighted points TalentLens gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -14.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -14.3.

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.
