§ The result
Prevue HR leads Mercor on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Prevue HR (Assessment) opens a 21-point lead on Mercor (Screening), 44 to 23. Mercor leads none of the 7 criteria, and Prevue HR is ahead on 4 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them. The advantage Prevue HR holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Mercor 10, Prevue HR 44, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 29% of the weighted points Prevue HR gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

1.1 weighted points to Prevue HR
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -21.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 21.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -21 beside that -21.0.

§ 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.
