§ The result
4 points separate eSkill and TestDome.
Within the Assessment cohort, eSkill edges TestDome by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 41 to 37. TestDome takes 2 of the 7 criteria, Data Governance Disclosure among them, against 5 for eSkill, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency. The advantage eSkill holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (eSkill 25, TestDome 15, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 36% of the weighted points eSkill gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +4.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +4.3.

§ 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.
