§ The result
HiredScore leads Retorio on 6 of the 7 criteria.
HiredScore scores 52 and Retorio 44 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. HiredScore leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Retorio is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 HiredScore leads is Post-Market Monitoring, HiredScore 35 to Retorio 33. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HiredScore 65, Retorio 50, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage HiredScore 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 +8.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +8.2.

§ 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.
