§ The result
Employment Hero leads DevSkiller on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Employment Hero, filed under Screening, finishes on 48 and DevSkiller, filed under Assessment, on 39, 9 points apart. Employment Hero takes all 7 criteria from DevSkiller without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Data Governance Disclosure, DevSkiller 52 to Employment Hero 56. The advantage Employment Hero holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (DevSkiller 35, Employment Hero 50, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 32% of the weighted points Employment Hero gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.3.
