§ The result
Korn Ferry takes the total, CoderPad takes more of the criteria.
Within the Assessment cohort, Korn Ferry edges CoderPad by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 46 to 42. CoderPad leads more of the criteria than Korn Ferry — 5 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Korn Ferry leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Korn Ferry. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (CoderPad 20, Korn Ferry 48) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 66% of the weighted advantage Korn Ferry holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -4.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.8 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 -4.5.

§ 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.
