§ The result
Indeed leads eSkill on all 7 criteria.
Indeed scores 50 and eSkill 41 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Indeed is ahead of eSkill on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Post-Market Monitoring at eSkill 36 to Indeed 40. The advantage Indeed holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (eSkill 25, Indeed 38, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 26% of the weighted points Indeed gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.0.

§ 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.
