§ The result
Beamery takes the total, Rippling takes more of the criteria.
Beamery scores 61 (D) and Rippling 56 (F) under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Rippling leads more of the criteria than Beamery — 5 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Beamery leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Beamery. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Beamery 85, Rippling 42 — and at an 18% weight it carries 83% of the weighted advantage Beamery holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +4.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +4.9.

§ 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.
