§ The result
Sense leads Korn Ferry on all 7 criteria.
Sense sits 12 points above Korn Ferry under rubric v1.0 — 58 against 46 — with Sense filed under Screening and Korn Ferry under Assessment. Sense leads every one of the 7 criteria, Korn Ferry none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Article 11 Technical Documentation, Korn Ferry 58 to Sense 60. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Korn Ferry 48, Sense 72, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage Sense holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

0.4 weighted points to Sense
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -12.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -12 beside that -12.1.

§ 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.
