§ The result
HiPeople leads eSkill on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, HiPeople opens a 20-point lead on eSkill, 61 (D) to 41 (F), with both scored in the Assessment cohort. HiPeople leads every one of the 7 criteria, eSkill none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, eSkill 30 to HiPeople 35. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — eSkill 25, HiPeople 84 — and at an 18% weight it carries 53% of the weighted advantage HiPeople 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 -20.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -20 beside that -20.1.

§ 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.
