§ The result
4 points separate Hogan Assessments and Ribbon.
Hogan Assessments holds a 4-point edge over Ribbon under rubric v1.0, 47 to 43, across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Hogan Assessments leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Ribbon leads 1, including Human Oversight Design. The advantage Hogan Assessments holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Hogan Assessments 50, Ribbon 42, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Hogan Assessments gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +3.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +3.7.

§ 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.
