§ The result
Sense leads Knockri on all 7 criteria.
Sense sits 11 points above Knockri under rubric v1.0 — 58 against 47 — with Sense filed under Screening and Knockri under Video interview. Sense leads every one of the 7 criteria, Knockri none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Knockri 35 to Sense 38. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Knockri 35, Sense 72) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 57% of the weighted advantage Sense holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -11.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -11.6.

§ 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.
