§ The result
Eightfold AI leads HackerRank by 9 points.
Eightfold AI scores 64 (D) and HackerRank 55 (F) under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Eightfold AI leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while HackerRank leads 1, including Customer Documentation, and 1 is level. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Eightfold AI 85, HackerRank 68, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Eightfold AI holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.1 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 +8.8.

§ 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.
