§ The result
Wonderlic takes the total, eSkill takes more of the criteria.
Wonderlic holds a 2-point edge over eSkill under rubric v1.0, 43 to 41, with both scored in the Assessment cohort. eSkill leads more of the criteria than Wonderlic — 5 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Wonderlic leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Wonderlic. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (eSkill 25, Wonderlic 48) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 84% of the weighted advantage Wonderlic holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -1.8.

§ 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.
