§ The result
Bullhorn leads Talkpush by 8 points.
Bullhorn scores 54 and Talkpush 46 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. Bullhorn leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while Talkpush leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring, and 1 is level. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Bullhorn 58, Talkpush 42, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 31% of the weighted advantage Bullhorn holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +8.1.

§ 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.
