§ The result
Hogan Assessments leads Tengai by 5 points.
Hogan Assessments scores 47 and Tengai 42 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Tengai takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Human Oversight Design among them, against 6 for Hogan Assessments, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Hogan Assessments 44, Tengai 33, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Hogan Assessments holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +5.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +5.2.

§ 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.
