§ The result
ADP leads RecruitBot on all 7 criteria.
ADP, filed under ATS-integrated, comes out 11 points above RecruitBot, filed under Sourcing: 48 against 37 under rubric v1.0. ADP takes all 7 criteria and RecruitBot none of them; the nearest contest is FRIA Support, ADP 28 to RecruitBot 27. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (ADP 46, RecruitBot 22, 18% weight), is only 38% of the weighted advantage ADP builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +11.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +11.3.

§ 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.
