§ The result
Prevue HR leads Cognisess on all 7 criteria.
Both filed under Assessment, Prevue HR and Cognisess come out 44 and 30 under rubric v1.0, 14 points in favour of Prevue HR. Of the 7 criteria Cognisess wins none, and the narrowest lead Prevue HR holds is on Data Governance Disclosure, Cognisess 42 to Prevue HR 48. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Cognisess 20, Prevue HR 44, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 31% of the weighted advantage Prevue HR 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 -14.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -14.1.

§ 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.
