§ The result
HiPeople leads CodeSignal on all 7 criteria.
HiPeople finishes 18 points clear of CodeSignal inside the Assessment cohort under rubric v1.0: 61 (D) against 43 (F). HiPeople leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; CodeSignal leads none.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -18.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -18 beside that -18.3.

§ 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.
