§ The result
HiPeople takes the total, iMocha takes more of the criteria.
HiPeople scores 61 (D) and iMocha 56 (F) under rubric v1.0 — a 5-point gap inside the Assessment cohort. iMocha leads more of the criteria than HiPeople — 4 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which HiPeople leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to HiPeople. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HiPeople 84, iMocha 44 — and at an 18% weight it carries 83% of the weighted advantage HiPeople holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +5.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +5.5.

§ 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.
