§ The result
Moonhub leads Mercor by 7 points.
Moonhub scores 30 and Mercor 23 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. Moonhub leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Data Governance Disclosure, while Mercor leads 1, including Customer Documentation. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Mercor 22, Moonhub 40, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage Moonhub 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 -7.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -7.3.

§ 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.
