§ The result
TestGorilla leads eSkill on 6 of the 7 criteria.
TestGorilla scores 47 and eSkill 41 under rubric v1.0 — a 6-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. eSkill is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: TestGorilla takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Post-Market Monitoring, eSkill 36 to TestGorilla 38. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — eSkill 25, TestGorilla 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 45% of the weighted advantage TestGorilla holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -5.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -5.3.

§ 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.
