§ The result
Pymetrics (Harver Games) leads XOR on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 26 points between Pymetrics (Harver Games) (Assessment) and XOR (Screening): 56 for Pymetrics (Harver Games), 30 for XOR. Pymetrics (Harver Games) leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so XOR is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Pymetrics (Harver Games) leads is Post-Market Monitoring, Pymetrics (Harver Games) 35 to XOR 33. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Pymetrics (Harver Games) 80, XOR 18 — and at an 18% weight it carries 43% of the weighted advantage Pymetrics (Harver Games) holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +25.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 25.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +26 beside that +25.9.

§ 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.
