§ The result
Infor Talent Science leads Cognisess on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Infor Talent Science opens a 19-point lead on Cognisess, 49 to 30, with both scored in the Assessment cohort. Cognisess leads none of the 7 criteria, and Infor Talent Science is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Cognisess 25, Infor Talent Science 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Infor Talent Science 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 -19.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 19.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -19 beside that -19.2.

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.
