§ The result
Bullhorn leads Emi on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Bullhorn (ATS-integrated) opens a 21-point lead on Emi (Screening), 54 to 33. Emi is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Bullhorn takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Customer Documentation, Bullhorn 60 to Emi 48. The advantage Bullhorn holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Bullhorn 58, Emi 18, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 34% of the weighted points Bullhorn gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

1.0 weighted points to Bullhorn
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +21.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 21.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +21 beside that +21.2.

§ 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.
