§ The result
Crosschq leads HighMatch on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Crosschq (Screening) edges HighMatch (Assessment) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 47 to 43. Crosschq leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so HighMatch is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Crosschq leads is Human Oversight Design, Crosschq 62 to HighMatch 60. The advantage Crosschq holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Crosschq 38, HighMatch 30, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 37% of the weighted points Crosschq gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +3.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +3.9.

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.
