§ The result
Wonderlic leads XOR by 13 points.
Wonderlic sits 13 points above XOR under rubric v1.0 — 43 against 30 — with Wonderlic filed under Assessment and XOR under Screening. Wonderlic leads 4 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while XOR leads 1, including Data Governance Disclosure, and 2 are level. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Wonderlic 52, XOR 20 — and at a 20% weight it carries 46% of the weighted advantage Wonderlic holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +13.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +13.2.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is Wonderlic minus XOR.

§ 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.
