§ The result
Draup leads HireQuotient by 8 points.
Draup scores 42 and HireQuotient 34 under rubric v1.0 — an 8-point gap inside the Sourcing cohort. HireQuotient takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Post-Market Monitoring among them, against 6 for Draup, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Draup 33, HireQuotient 18, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Draup holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +8.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +8.3.

§ 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.
