§ The result
Stepstone takes the total, 365Talents takes more of the criteria.
Stepstone holds a 3-point edge over 365Talents under rubric v1.0, 49 to 46, across the Screening and Sourcing cohorts. 365Talents leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for Stepstone, yet Stepstone takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — 365Talents 18, Stepstone 50 — and at an 18% weight it carries 97% of the weighted advantage Stepstone holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -2.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -2.4.
