§ The result
CodeSignal leads SeekOut on 6 of the 7 criteria.
CodeSignal scores 43 and SeekOut 34 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. CodeSignal leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so SeekOut is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 CodeSignal leads is Article 11 Technical Documentation, CodeSignal 38 to SeekOut 35. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: Customer Documentation (CodeSignal 62, SeekOut 35) and Data Governance Disclosure at 15% (CodeSignal 50, SeekOut 35), the second being 26% of the weighted advantage CodeSignal holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

0.6 weighted points to CodeSignal
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +8.7.

§ 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.
