§ The result
HiredScore leads TalentLens on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, HiredScore, filed under Sourcing, finishes on 52 and TalentLens, filed under Assessment, on 46, 6 points apart. TalentLens is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: HiredScore takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Customer Documentation, HiredScore 60 to TalentLens 58. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HiredScore 65, TalentLens 52 — and at a 20% weight it carries 43% 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 +6.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.0.

§ 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.
