§ The result
3 points separate Tezi and HackerRank.
Tezi (Screening) edges HackerRank (Assessment) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 58 to 55. Tezi leads 4 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while HackerRank leads 2, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, and 1 is level. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HackerRank 68, Tezi 83 — and at an 18% weight it carries 53% of the weighted advantage Tezi holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -2.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -2.5.

§ 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.
