§ The result
Maki People leads HireQuotient on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 33 points between Maki People (Assessment) and HireQuotient (Sourcing): 67 (D) for Maki People, 34 (F) for HireQuotient. Maki People leads every one of the 7 criteria and 6 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; HireQuotient leads none. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HireQuotient 18, Maki People 80, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Maki People 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 -32.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 32.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -33 beside that -32.6.

§ 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.
