§ The result
HiringBranch leads Moonhub on all 7 criteria.
HiringBranch finishes 22 points clear of Moonhub under rubric v1.0 — 52 against 30 — across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. HiringBranch leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; Moonhub leads none.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +22.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 22.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +22 beside that +22.0.

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.
