§ The result
Maki People leads Keka on all 7 criteria.
Maki People (Assessment) and Keka (ATS-integrated) are 30 points apart under rubric v1.0, 67 (D) for Maki People against 37 (F) for Keka. Keka leads none of the 7 criteria, and Maki People is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them. The advantage Maki People holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Keka 20, Maki People 80, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 36% of the weighted points Maki People gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -29.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 29.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -30 beside that -29.7.

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.
