§ The result
The Predictive Index leads Tengai by 6 points.
Under rubric v1.0, The Predictive Index, filed under Assessment, finishes on 48 and Tengai, filed under Screening, on 42, 6 points apart. The Predictive Index leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while Tengai leads 1, including Human Oversight Design. The advantage The Predictive Index holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (The Predictive Index 45, Tengai 33, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points The Predictive Index gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +5.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +5.8.

§ 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.
