§ The result
HiPeople leads UKG on 6 of the 7 criteria.
HiPeople finishes 17 points clear of UKG under rubric v1.0 — 61 (D) against 44 (F) — across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. HiPeople leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so UKG is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 HiPeople leads is Data Governance Disclosure, HiPeople 58 to UKG 56. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HiPeople 84, UKG 30 — and at an 18% weight it carries 55% of the weighted advantage HiPeople holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +17.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +17 beside that +17.5.

§ 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.
