HackerRank leads HackerEarth on all 7 criteria.
HackerRank finishes 9 points ahead of HackerEarth under rubric v1.0, 55 to 46, both scored as Assessment entries. HackerRank leads every one of the 7 criteria, HackerEarth none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, HackerEarth 32 to HackerRank 35. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HackerEarth 35, HackerRank 68 — and at an 18% weight it carries 65% of the weighted advantage HackerRank holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.1 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 -9.1.

§ 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.
