§ The result
Gem leads Knockri on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Gem, filed under Sourcing, finishes on 55 and Knockri, filed under Video interview, on 47, 8 points apart. Knockri is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Gem takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Human Oversight Design, Gem 61 to Knockri 60. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Gem 66, Knockri 35 — and at an 18% weight it carries 65% of the weighted advantage Gem holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +8.6.

§ 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.
