§ The result
PageUp leads Mercor on all 7 criteria.
PageUp (ATS-integrated) and Mercor (Screening) are 41 points apart under rubric v1.0, 64 (D) for PageUp against 23 (F) for Mercor. On every one of the 7 criteria PageUp scores 20 raw points or more above Mercor, which leads none of them. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Mercor 10, PageUp 80, 18% weight), is only 31% of the weighted advantage PageUp builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

1.8 weighted points to PageUp
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -40.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 40.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -41 beside that -40.8.

§ 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.
