§ The result
ADP takes the total, HiBob takes more of the criteria.
Within the ATS-integrated cohort, ADP edges HiBob by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 48 to 46. HiBob leads more of the criteria than ADP — 5 to 1 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which ADP leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to ADP. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (ADP 46, HiBob 20) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 100% of the weighted advantage ADP holds across the 1 criterion it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +1.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +1.8.

§ 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.
