§ The result
3 points separate ADP and Cegid.
Under rubric v1.0, ADP and Cegid finish 3 points apart, 48 to 45, as two ATS-integrated entries. Cegid takes 2 of the 7 criteria, FRIA Support among them, against 4 for ADP, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency, and 1 is level. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (ADP 46, Cegid 30) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 66% of the weighted advantage ADP holds across the 4 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +3.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.3 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 +3.5.

§ 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.
