§ The result
Beamery leads ADP on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Beamery sits 13 points above ADP under rubric v1.0 — 61 (D) against 48 (F) — with Beamery filed under Sourcing and ADP under ATS-integrated. Beamery leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so ADP is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Beamery leads is FRIA Support, ADP 28 to Beamery 30. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — ADP 46, Beamery 85 — and at an 18% weight it carries 53% of the weighted advantage Beamery 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 -13.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.1 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 -13.1.

§ 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.
