§ The result
2 points separate Cegid and BambooHR.
Under rubric v1.0, Cegid and BambooHR finish 2 points apart, 45 to 43, as two ATS-integrated entries. The criteria split evenly, 3 each to BambooHR and Cegid, with 1 level, and the weighted points on the side Cegid holds, headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation, settle the total. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — BambooHR 42, Cegid 50 — and at a 20% weight it carries 63% of the weighted advantage Cegid holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -1.6.

§ 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.
