Under rubric v1.0, Bryq (Assessment) opens a 20-point lead on Keka (ATS-integrated), 57 to 37. Bryq leads every one of the 7 criteria, Keka none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, Bryq 54 to Keka 50. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Bryq 70, Keka 20 — and at an 18% weight it carries 44% of the weighted advantage Bryq holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +20.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +20 beside that +20.3.

§ 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.
