§ The result
4 points separate Fuel50 and Bullhorn.
Fuel50 (Sourcing) edges Bullhorn (ATS-integrated) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 58 to 54. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of Fuel50: Fuel50 is ahead on Bias Audit Transparency and Bullhorn on FRIA Support. The advantage Fuel50 holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Bullhorn 58, Fuel50 68, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 37% of the weighted points Fuel50 gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -4.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -4.0.

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.
