§ The result
iCIMS leads Arena Analytics on all 7 criteria.
iCIMS finishes 23 points clear of Arena Analytics under rubric v1.0 — 55 against 32 — across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. iCIMS leads every one of the 7 criteria and 4 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; Arena Analytics leads none. The advantage iCIMS holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Arena Analytics 25, iCIMS 68, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points iCIMS gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -23.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 23.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -23 beside that -23.4.

§ 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.
