§ The result
Checkr leads The Predictive Index by 6 points.
Checkr scores 54 and The Predictive Index 48 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. Checkr leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while The Predictive Index leads 2, including Bias Audit Transparency. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Checkr 70, The Predictive Index 50 — and at a 20% weight it carries 49% of the weighted advantage Checkr holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +6.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.0.

§ 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.
