§ The result
ADP leads Recruit CRM by 8 points.
ADP scores 48 and Recruit CRM 40 under rubric v1.0 — an 8-point gap inside the ATS-integrated cohort. Recruit CRM takes 3 of the 7 criteria, FRIA Support among them, against 4 for ADP, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — ADP 46, Recruit CRM 20 — and at an 18% weight it carries 50% of the weighted advantage ADP holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +7.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +7.9.

§ 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.
