§ The result
SHL leads HeroHunt.ai on all 7 criteria.
SHL finishes 21 points clear of HeroHunt.ai under rubric v1.0 — 51 against 30 — across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. Of the 7 criteria HeroHunt.ai wins none, and the narrowest lead SHL holds is on FRIA Support, HeroHunt.ai 27 to SHL 30. The advantage SHL holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (HeroHunt.ai 20, SHL 60, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points SHL gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -20.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -21 beside that -20.4.

§ 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.
