§ The result
3 points separate BrightHire and The Predictive Index.
BrightHire (Screening) edges The Predictive Index (Assessment) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 51 to 48. BrightHire leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Human Oversight Design, while The Predictive Index leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring. Human Oversight Design is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (BrightHire 60, The Predictive Index 52, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 29% of the weighted advantage BrightHire holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +3.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +3.2.

§ 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.
