§ The result
The Predictive Index takes the total, Factorial takes more of the criteria.
The Predictive Index (Assessment) edges Factorial (ATS-integrated) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 48 to 46. Factorial leads more of the criteria than The Predictive Index — 4 to 1 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which The Predictive Index leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to The Predictive Index. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Factorial 25, The Predictive Index 45) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 100% of the weighted advantage The Predictive Index holds across the 1 criterion it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.6 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 -1.6.

§ 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.
