§ The result
eSkill leads Emi on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, eSkill, filed under Assessment, finishes on 41 and Emi, filed under Screening, on 33, 8 points apart. eSkill takes all 7 criteria and Emi none of them; the nearest contest is Post-Market Monitoring, Emi 35 to eSkill 36. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Emi 28, eSkill 48 — and at a 20% weight it carries 46% of the weighted advantage eSkill holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -8.8 — 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 -8.8.

§ 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.
