§ The result
TalentLens leads HireQuotient on 6 of the 7 criteria.
TalentLens sits 12 points above HireQuotient under rubric v1.0 — 46 against 34 — with TalentLens filed under Assessment and HireQuotient under Sourcing. TalentLens leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so HireQuotient is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 TalentLens leads is Post-Market Monitoring, HireQuotient 30 to TalentLens 32. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (HireQuotient 18, TalentLens 45) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 41% of the weighted advantage TalentLens holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -11.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -12 beside that -11.8.

§ 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.
