§ The result
HackerRank leads TestDome on all 7 criteria.
The Assessment cohort pairing of HackerRank and TestDome comes out 55 to 37 under rubric v1.0, an 18-point lead for HackerRank. Of the 7 criteria TestDome wins none, and the narrowest lead HackerRank holds is on Customer Documentation, HackerRank 62 to TestDome 60. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (HackerRank 68, TestDome 15) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 52% of the weighted advantage HackerRank holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +18.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +18 beside that +18.3.

§ 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.
