§ The result
SHL leads Talview on all 7 criteria.
SHL scores 51 and Talview 42 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Assessment and Video interview cohorts. SHL is ahead of Talview on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Human Oversight Design at SHL 58 to Talview 55. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (SHL 50, Talview 38, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 26% of the weighted advantage SHL 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 +8.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +8.4.

§ 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.
