§ The result
CodeSignal leads Ceipal on 5 of the 7 criteria.
CodeSignal scores 43 and Ceipal 35 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. CodeSignal leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Ceipal is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 CodeSignal leads is Data Governance Disclosure, Ceipal 46 to CodeSignal 50. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Ceipal 20, CodeSignal 45 — and at an 18% weight it carries 53% of the weighted advantage CodeSignal holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -8.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -8.5.

§ 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.
