§ The result
Indeed leads Canditech on all 7 criteria.
Indeed, filed under Sourcing, comes out 11 points above Canditech, filed under Assessment: 50 against 39 under rubric v1.0. Of the 7 criteria Canditech wins none, and the narrowest lead Indeed holds is on Data Governance Disclosure, Canditech 52 to Indeed 58. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Canditech 37, Indeed 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Indeed holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -11.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -11.3.

§ 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.
