§ The result
HackerEarth leads Paycor on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, HackerEarth, filed under Assessment, finishes on 46 and Paycor, filed under ATS-integrated, on 40, 6 points apart. HackerEarth takes all 7 criteria from Paycor without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Human Oversight Design, HackerEarth 56 to Paycor 55. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HackerEarth 55, Paycor 40 — and at a 20% weight it carries 45% of the weighted advantage HackerEarth 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 +6.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.6.

§ 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.
