§ The result
Knockri leads Emi on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Knockri sits 14 points above Emi under rubric v1.0 — 47 against 33 — with Knockri filed under Video interview and Emi under Screening. Knockri leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Emi is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Knockri leads is Customer Documentation, Emi 48 to Knockri 55. The advantage Knockri holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Emi 28, Knockri 55, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 38% of the weighted points Knockri gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -14.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -14.1.

§ 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.
