§ The result
Bryq takes the total, Rippling takes more of the criteria.
Bryq (Assessment) edges Rippling (ATS-integrated) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 57 to 56. Rippling leads more of the criteria than Bryq — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Bryq leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Bryq. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Bryq 70, Rippling 42 — and at an 18% weight it carries 82% of the weighted advantage Bryq holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +0.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +0.6.

§ 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.
