§ The result
2 points separate Pinpoint and HackerRank.
Pinpoint (ATS-integrated) edges HackerRank (Assessment) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 57 to 55. Pinpoint leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while HackerRank leads 1, including Bias Audit Transparency.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.1 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 -1.8.

§ 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.
