§ The result
HiPeople leads Classet on all 7 criteria.
HiPeople scores 61 (D) and Classet 55 (F) under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. HiPeople is ahead of Classet on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Data Governance Disclosure at Classet 57 to HiPeople 58. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Classet 46, HiPeople 62) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 49% of the weighted advantage HiPeople holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -6.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.5 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 -6.5.

§ 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.
