§ The result
HiPeople leads ConverzAI on all 7 criteria.
HiPeople finishes 17 points clear of ConverzAI under rubric v1.0 — 61 (D) against 44 (F) — across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. HiPeople leads every one of the 7 criteria, ConverzAI none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, ConverzAI 30 to HiPeople 35. The advantage HiPeople holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (ConverzAI 30, HiPeople 62, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 38% of the weighted points HiPeople gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -16.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -17 beside that -16.9.

§ 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.
