§ The result
Hogan Assessments leads Retorio on 4 of the 7 criteria.
Within the Assessment cohort, Hogan Assessments edges Retorio by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 47 to 44. Hogan Assessments leads 4 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 3 are level, so Retorio is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 4 Hogan Assessments leads is Bias Audit Transparency, Hogan Assessments 44 to Retorio 40. Customer Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Hogan Assessments 62, Retorio 50, 8% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage Hogan Assessments holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.
