§ The result
Classet and HackerRank tie at 55.
Classet (Screening) and HackerRank (Assessment) tie at 55 under rubric v1.0, arriving there from different criteria. Classet leads 3 of the 7 criteria and HackerRank 3, with 1 level, yet the two totals land on the same number. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Classet 46, HackerRank 60) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 76% of the weighted advantage HackerRank holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -0.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads 0 beside that -0.4.

§ 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.
