§ The result
Toggl Hire leads Mercor on all 7 criteria.
Toggl Hire sits 14 points above Mercor under rubric v1.0 — 37 against 23 — with Toggl Hire filed under Assessment and Mercor under Screening. Toggl Hire leads every one of the 7 criteria, Mercor none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Article 11 Technical Documentation, Mercor 22 to Toggl Hire 30. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Mercor 22, Toggl Hire 55, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage Toggl Hire holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -13.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -13.7.
