§ The result
3 points separate hireEZ and Canditech.
hireEZ (Sourcing) edges Canditech (Assessment) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 42 to 39. hireEZ leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Data Governance Disclosure, while Canditech leads 1, including FRIA Support, and 1 is level. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Canditech 52, hireEZ 60, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 33% of the weighted advantage hireEZ holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 4.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -2.9.
