§ The result
Braintrust AIR leads The Predictive Index on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Braintrust AIR sits 11 points above The Predictive Index under rubric v1.0 — 59 against 48 — with Braintrust AIR filed under Screening and The Predictive Index under Assessment. Braintrust AIR leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so The Predictive Index is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Braintrust AIR leads is Data Governance Disclosure, Braintrust AIR 56 to The Predictive Index 55. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Braintrust AIR 75, The Predictive Index 45) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 50% of the weighted advantage Braintrust AIR holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Shares are of 10.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +10.9.

§ 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.
