§ The result
4 points separate HiredScore and X0PA AI.
HiredScore (Sourcing) edges X0PA AI (Assessment) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 52 to 48. HiredScore and X0PA AI each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split HiredScore holds (headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation) adds up to more weighted points. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HiredScore 65, X0PA AI 50 — and at a 20% weight it carries 56% of the weighted advantage HiredScore holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +3.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +3.4.

§ 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.
