§ The result
2 points separate The Predictive Index and Talkpush.
The Predictive Index (Assessment) edges Talkpush (Screening) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 48 to 46. The Predictive Index and Talkpush each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split The Predictive Index holds (headed by Data Governance Disclosure) adds up to more weighted points. Data Governance Disclosure is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — The Predictive Index 55, Talkpush 44 — and at a 15% weight it carries 49% of the weighted advantage The Predictive Index holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +2.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +2.1.

§ 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.
