§ The result
Hireology leads Mercor on all 7 criteria.
Hireology (ATS-integrated) and Mercor (Screening) are 34 points apart under rubric v1.0, 57 for Hireology against 23 for Mercor. Mercor leads none of the 7 criteria, and Hireology is ahead on 4 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them. The advantage Hireology holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Hireology 83, Mercor 10, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Hireology gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +33.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 33.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +34 beside that +33.4.

§ 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.
