§ The result
Criteria leads Wonderlic on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Criteria sits 10 points above Wonderlic under rubric v1.0, 53 against 43, with both filed under Assessment. Criteria leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Wonderlic is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Criteria leads is Human Oversight Design, Criteria 56 to Wonderlic 52. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Criteria 62, Wonderlic 38, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 37% 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 +9.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +10 beside that +9.8.

§ 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.
