§ The result
HackerEarth takes the total, CoderPad takes more of the criteria.
HackerEarth holds a 4-point edge over CoderPad under rubric v1.0, 46 to 42, with both scored in the Assessment cohort. CoderPad leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for HackerEarth, yet HackerEarth takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — CoderPad 20, HackerEarth 35 — and at an 18% weight it carries 51% of the weighted advantage HackerEarth holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -4.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -4.6.

§ 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.
