§ The result
SHL leads DevSkiller on 6 of the 7 criteria.
SHL sits 12 points above DevSkiller under rubric v1.0, 51 against 39, with both filed under Assessment. SHL leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so DevSkiller is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 SHL leads is Customer Documentation, DevSkiller 58 to SHL 60. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — DevSkiller 22, SHL 50 — and at an 18% weight it carries 41% of the weighted advantage SHL 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 -12.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -12 beside that -12.2.

§ 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.
