HiPeople finishes 20 points clear of Willo under rubric v1.0 — 61 (D) against 41 (F) — across the Assessment and Video interview cohorts. HiPeople leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Willo is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 HiPeople leads is Data Governance Disclosure, HiPeople 58 to Willo 53. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HiPeople 84, Willo 30 — and at an 18% weight it carries 47% 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 +20.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +20 beside that +20.6.

§ 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.
