§ The result
Factorial leads eSkill on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Factorial scores 46 and eSkill 41 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Factorial leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so eSkill is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Factorial leads is Human Oversight Design, eSkill 57 to Factorial 58. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap (eSkill 36, Factorial 48) but not the heaviest weighted swing, which is Data Governance Disclosure at 15% (eSkill 47, Factorial 57), 30% of the weighted advantage Factorial builds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -4.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -5 beside that -4.9.

§ 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.
