§ The result
Talkpush leads Canditech by 7 points.
Talkpush scores 46 and Canditech 39 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. Talkpush leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while Canditech leads 2, including Data Governance Disclosure. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Canditech 25, Talkpush 42, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Talkpush holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -6.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -6.6.

§ 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.
