§ The result
VidCruiter leads eSkill by 7 points.
VidCruiter scores 48 and eSkill 41 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the Video interview and Assessment cohorts. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of VidCruiter: VidCruiter is ahead on Bias Audit Transparency and eSkill on Post-Market Monitoring. The advantage VidCruiter holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (eSkill 25, VidCruiter 38, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 34% of the weighted points VidCruiter gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -6.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -6.5.

§ 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.
