§ The result
HackerRank leads CoderPad on all 7 criteria.
HackerRank sits 13 points above CoderPad under rubric v1.0, 55 against 42, with both filed under Assessment. HackerRank leads every one of the 7 criteria, CoderPad none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Data Governance Disclosure, CoderPad 54 to HackerRank 55. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — CoderPad 20, HackerRank 68 — and at an 18% weight it carries 63% of the weighted advantage HackerRank holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -13.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -13.6.

§ 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.
