§ The result
HirePro leads Mercor on all 7 criteria.
The Screening cohort pairing of HirePro and Mercor comes out 38 to 23 under rubric v1.0, a 15-point lead for HirePro. HirePro leads every one of the 7 criteria, Mercor none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, HirePro 25 to Mercor 20. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HirePro 50, Mercor 22, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage HirePro holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +15.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +15 beside that +15.0.

§ 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.
