§ The result
Avature leads DevSkiller on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Avature scores 48 and DevSkiller 39 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Avature leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so DevSkiller is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Avature leads is Customer Documentation, Avature 60 to DevSkiller 58. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Avature 55, DevSkiller 35) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 40% of the weighted advantage Avature holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +10.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +10.0.

§ 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.
