§ The result
2 points separate Cegid and HighMatch.
Cegid (ATS-integrated) edges HighMatch (Assessment) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 45 to 43. HighMatch takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Human Oversight Design among them, against 4 for Cegid, whose share includes Article 11 Technical Documentation, and 2 are level. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Cegid 50, HighMatch 45) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 48% of the weighted advantage Cegid holds across the 4 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +1.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 2.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +1.5.

§ 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.
