§ The result
Xobin leads eSkill on all 7 criteria.
Xobin scores 50 and eSkill 41 under rubric v1.0 — a 9-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. Xobin takes all 7 criteria from eSkill without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Human Oversight Design, eSkill 57 to Xobin 58. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (eSkill 25, Xobin 43, 18% weight), is only 36% of the weighted advantage Xobin builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.0.

§ 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.
