§ The result
HighMatch leads Keka on 5 of the 7 criteria.
HighMatch scores 43 and Keka 37 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. HighMatch leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Keka is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 HighMatch leads is Data Governance Disclosure, HighMatch 52 to Keka 50. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (HighMatch 45, Keka 30) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 46% of the weighted advantage HighMatch holds across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +6.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.5.

§ 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.
