§ The result
SEEK leads HireQuotient on all 7 criteria.
SEEK finishes 20 points clear of HireQuotient under rubric v1.0 — 54 against 34 — across the Screening and Sourcing cohorts. SEEK leads every one of the 7 criteria and 4 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; HireQuotient leads none. The advantage SEEK holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (HireQuotient 35, SEEK 70, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 36% of the weighted points SEEK gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -19.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 19.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -20 beside that -19.6.

§ 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.
