§ The result
Criteria leads HackerEarth on 4 of the 7 criteria.
Criteria finishes 7 points ahead of HackerEarth under rubric v1.0, 53 to 46, both scored as Assessment entries. Criteria leads 4 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 3 are level, so HackerEarth is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 4 Criteria leads is Customer Documentation, Criteria 60 to HackerEarth 57. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Criteria 68, HackerEarth 55, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Criteria holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to +6.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +7 beside that +6.7.

§ 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.
