§ The result
HighMatch leads HireQuotient on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, HighMatch, filed under Assessment, finishes on 43 and HireQuotient, filed under Sourcing, on 34, 9 points apart. HighMatch takes all 7 criteria from HireQuotient without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Human Oversight Design, HighMatch 60 to HireQuotient 57. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HighMatch 30, HireQuotient 18, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 23% of the weighted advantage HighMatch holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +9.4.

§ 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.
