§ The result
Criteria leads Korn Ferry on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Criteria scores 53 and Korn Ferry 46 under rubric v1.0 — a 7-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. Criteria leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Korn Ferry is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Criteria leads is Human Oversight Design, Criteria 56 to Korn Ferry 52. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Criteria 68, Korn Ferry 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage Criteria holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 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.
