§ The result
4 points separate Cegid and eSkill.
Cegid holds a 4-point edge over eSkill under rubric v1.0, 45 to 41, across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of Cegid: Cegid is ahead on Data Governance Disclosure and eSkill on Human Oversight Design. The advantage Cegid holds is spread out: Data Governance Disclosure is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Cegid 55, eSkill 47, 15% weight), yet it supplies only 32% of the weighted points Cegid gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +3.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +3.5.

§ 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.
