§ The result
BrightHire leads AmazingHiring on all 7 criteria.
BrightHire sits 14 points above AmazingHiring under rubric v1.0 — 51 against 37 — with BrightHire filed under Screening and AmazingHiring under Sourcing. BrightHire leads every one of the 7 criteria, AmazingHiring none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, AmazingHiring 30 to BrightHire 36. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (AmazingHiring 22, BrightHire 50, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage BrightHire holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 14.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -14.2.
