§ The result
Cegid leads Fetcher on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Cegid scores 45 and Fetcher 37 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Cegid leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Fetcher is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Cegid leads is Bias Audit Transparency, Cegid 30 to Fetcher 28. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Cegid 50, Fetcher 27) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 61% of the weighted advantage Cegid holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +7.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.5 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 +7.5.

§ 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.
