§ The result
4 points separate Testlify and eSkill.
Under rubric v1.0, Testlify and eSkill finish 4 points apart, 45 to 41, as two Assessment entries. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of Testlify: Testlify is ahead on Data Governance Disclosure and eSkill on Human Oversight Design. The advantage Testlify holds is spread out: Data Governance Disclosure is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (eSkill 47, Testlify 55, 15% weight), yet it supplies only 27% of the weighted points Testlify gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -4.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.6 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 -4.1.

§ 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.
