§ The result
BrightHire leads HirePro on all 7 criteria.
BrightHire sits 13 points above HirePro under rubric v1.0, 51 against 38, with both filed under Screening. BrightHire takes all 7 criteria and HirePro none of them; the nearest contest is Human Oversight Design, BrightHire 60 to HirePro 55. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (BrightHire 52, HirePro 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage BrightHire holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +12.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +12.9.

§ 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.
