§ The result
Maki People leads HighMatch on all 7 criteria.
The Assessment cohort pairing of Maki People and HighMatch comes out 67 (D) to 43 (F) under rubric v1.0, a 24-point lead for Maki People. Maki People leads every one of the 7 criteria, HighMatch none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, HighMatch 60 to Maki People 66. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HighMatch 30, Maki People 80, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Maki People holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

§ 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.
