§ The result
SEEK leads ADP by 6 points.
SEEK scores 54 and ADP 48 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Screening and ATS-integrated cohorts. SEEK leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while ADP leads 1, including Bias Audit Transparency. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (ADP 53, SEEK 70) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 53% of the weighted advantage SEEK holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -5.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -5.3.

§ 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.
