§ The result
Ashby leads HeroHunt.ai on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 26 points between Ashby (ATS-integrated) and HeroHunt.ai (Sourcing): 56 for Ashby, 30 for HeroHunt.ai. Ashby leads every one of the 7 criteria, HeroHunt.ai none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, Ashby 62 to HeroHunt.ai 55. The advantage Ashby holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Ashby 62, HeroHunt.ai 10, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 36% of the weighted points Ashby gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

§ 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.
