§ The result
Humanly takes the total, eSkill takes more of the criteria.
Humanly holds a 1-point edge over eSkill under rubric v1.0, 42 to 41, across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. eSkill leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for Humanly, yet Humanly takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — eSkill 25, Humanly 40 — and at an 18% weight it carries 76% of the weighted advantage Humanly holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -0.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -0.9.

§ 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.
