§ The result
HiPeople leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 25 points between HiPeople (Assessment) and micro1 (Screening): 61 (D) for HiPeople, 36 (F) for micro1. HiPeople leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; micro1 leads none. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (HiPeople 84, micro1 20) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 45% of the weighted advantage HiPeople holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +25.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 25.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +25 beside that +25.4.

§ 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.
