§ The result
Crosschq leads eSkill on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Crosschq, filed under Screening, finishes on 47 and eSkill, filed under Assessment, on 41, 6 points apart. eSkill is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Crosschq takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Article 11 Technical Documentation, Crosschq 50 to eSkill 48. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Crosschq 38, eSkill 25, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Crosschq 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 +5.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +5.9.

§ 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.
