§ The result
Testlify leads HireQuotient by 11 points.
Testlify sits 11 points above HireQuotient under rubric v1.0 — 45 against 34 — with Testlify filed under Assessment and HireQuotient under Sourcing. HireQuotient takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Human Oversight Design among them, against 6 for Testlify, whose share includes Article 11 Technical Documentation. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HireQuotient 35, Testlify 52, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 29% of the weighted advantage Testlify holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 11.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -11.5.

§ 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.
