§ The result
Bullhorn leads HireQuotient on all 7 criteria.
Bullhorn finishes 20 points clear of HireQuotient under rubric v1.0 — 54 against 34 — across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Bullhorn leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; HireQuotient leads none. The advantage Bullhorn holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Bullhorn 58, HireQuotient 18, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 36% of the weighted points Bullhorn gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +19.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 19.8 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 +19.8.

§ 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.
