§ The result
The Predictive Index leads micro1 on 6 of the 7 criteria.
The Predictive Index sits 12 points above micro1 under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 36 — with The Predictive Index filed under Assessment and micro1 under Screening. The Predictive Index leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so micro1 is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 The Predictive Index leads is Human Oversight Design, micro1 48 to The Predictive Index 52. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (micro1 20, The Predictive Index 45, 18% weight), is only 38% of the weighted advantage The Predictive Index builds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -11.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.8 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 -11.8.

§ 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.
