§ The result
X0PA AI leads DevSkiller on 6 of the 7 criteria.
X0PA AI scores 48 and DevSkiller 39 under rubric v1.0 — a 9-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. X0PA AI 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 X0PA AI leads is Human Oversight Design, DevSkiller 55 to X0PA AI 57. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — DevSkiller 22, X0PA AI 44 — and at an 18% weight it carries 40% of the weighted advantage X0PA AI 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 -9.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.9 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 -9.9.

§ 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.
