Findem finishes 19 points clear of Canditech under rubric v1.0 — 58 against 39 — across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Findem leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Canditech is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Findem leads is Data Governance Disclosure, Canditech 52 to Findem 57. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Canditech 25, Findem 83 — and at an 18% weight it carries 56% of the weighted advantage Findem holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 18.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -19 beside that -18.6.

§ 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.
