§ The result
HeyMilo takes the total, Checkr takes more of the criteria.
HeyMilo scores 61 (D) and Checkr 54 (F) under rubric v1.0 — a 7-point gap inside the Screening cohort. Checkr leads more of the criteria than HeyMilo — 4 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which HeyMilo leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to HeyMilo. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Checkr 35, HeyMilo 83 — and at an 18% weight it carries 85% of the weighted advantage HeyMilo holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -6.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -6.9.

§ 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.
