§ The result
HiredScore leads Equalture by 8 points.
HiredScore scores 52 and Equalture 44 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. HiredScore leads 3 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Equalture leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring, and 3 are level.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to -7.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.3 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 -7.5.

§ 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.
