§ The result
HackerRank leads The Predictive Index on 5 of the 7 criteria.
HackerRank scores 55 and The Predictive Index 48 under rubric v1.0 — a 7-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. HackerRank leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so The Predictive Index is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 HackerRank leads is Post-Market Monitoring, HackerRank 45 to The Predictive Index 43. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HackerRank 68, The Predictive Index 45 — and at an 18% weight it carries 55% of the weighted advantage HackerRank holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +7.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +7 beside that +7.5.

§ 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.
