§ The result
BrightHire leads Coderbyte on 6 of the 7 criteria.
BrightHire scores 51 and Coderbyte 42 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. BrightHire leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Coderbyte is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 BrightHire leads is Post-Market Monitoring, BrightHire 42 to Coderbyte 40. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (BrightHire 50, Coderbyte 20) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 63% of the weighted advantage BrightHire holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.6 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 +8.6.

§ 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.
